We can't know everythingWe have to figure out the critical pieces, and know that.

The way we filter the huge amount of data surrounding us is by what is relevant to achieving our outcome.

In order to prioritise, we have to be clear on our outcomes

Ignore everything that does to support your visions

The need not to know is just as important as the need to know.

Most things do not make a difference5% of the effort produces 95% of the results

A small number of things are the difference that makes the difference

Simply trying to change everything is far too hardFigure out the smallest number of things we can change that will have the highest leverageFocus all your energy on one, highest priority problem, at a time.

Priorities change with circumstances.And it's appropriate that they should do so.

Spend most of your time pursuing the outcomes that are most important to you.

Don't push them off into the future.Make a list of your top 10 priorities, and put them in order.

Then use the Half-Prioritisation System.

Where, depending on the order of the priority, you know how much time and resources to spend on it.

1/ 50%, 2/ 25%, 3/ 12.5%, 4/ 6.25%, 5/ 3%, 6/ 1.5%, 7/ 0.75%, 8/ 0.37%, 9/ 0.17%, 10/ 0.08%

Focus on one thing at a time.First things first

Second things not at all.

Prioritisation is actually about habit-creation.

Choose an item on your priority-listCreate a habit for it

And set up your environment so that it supports that habit

Variety

Having more than one pathway to a destinationIs very importantSo if one path is blocked, we have other optionsThe more flexibility is in the interactions, the more effective the system will be

Having a huge number of options is a danger

They dissipate our energy in different directions Energy needs to be focused

We have to prioritise. Some things have to be more important than others.Have at least 3 alternatives that improve on the current situation.

Preserve optionality

Always come into situations with at least a few good options.

Systems are sensitive to initial conditionsSo the better options you have at each moment of committing to a tweak, the better the end-result will be.
