Getting work sequenced.
BREAKING DOWN A GOAL
"I need to [goal] by [date]. Here is what I know needs doing: [list]. What is the sequence, what depends on what, and what am I forgetting?"
The forgetting question is where it earns its place.
PRIORITISING
"Here is everything on my list: [paste]. Here are my constraints: [supply]. What should I do first, what will cause a problem if delayed, and what could I remove entirely?"
WORKING BACKWARDS
"The deadline is [date]. What needs to happen when, working backwards?"
A PROJECT CHECKLIST
"Here is the project: [describe]. Produce a checklist of everything that must happen, grouped by stage."
RISK
"What could go wrong with this? For each, how likely, how serious, and what would reduce it?"
A WEEKLY PLAN
"Here is what I need to achieve this week and my available time. Produce a realistic plan."
WHAT IT GETS WRONG
Durations. It does not know how long things take in your business.
