Purposedifferent | The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed. | 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. | The method makes visible why two seemingly incompatible demands arise and which assumption must be tested to resolve the conflict. | It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped. |
