Purposedifferent | It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped. | In early initiatives with many uncertainties, planning quickly turns too optimistic. A pre-mortem makes the expected failure visible in advance and sharpens the view of causes, gaps, and countermeasures. | With many open commitments and ideas in daily life, a reliable external storage system emerges. The method relieves the mind so priority and context don't have to compete in memory. | The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed. |
