Purposedifferent
The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed.The method makes visible why two seemingly incompatible demands arise and which assumption must be tested to resolve the conflict.A Future Reality Tree shows how desired actions are meant to lead to a better system state. The method checks whether a path of change holds together logically before time flows into implementation.It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped.
