How it works
Your next right thing, found for you every morning.
There's no methodology to learn and no backlog to groom. You tell me what's on your mind; I tell you the six things that matter today, in order. Then you do the first one — the next right thing.
The half-million-dollar idea
One idea. Fifteen minutes. A fortune.
Charles Schwab paid a consultant the equivalent of half a million dollars for a single idea that took fifteen minutes to explain.
Each night, write down the six most important things to do tomorrow. Rank them. Start on number one in the morning and work it to done before you touch number two. Whatever's left, carry forward to a new six the next night.
Schwab called it the most profitable advice he ever took. The idea has never needed improving — most of us just never run it. That's the part the coach does for you now, every day.
A list won't save you.
Most productivity tools hand you a list and let you decide. The hard part isn't writing the list — it's deciding what matters today, from everywhere you already work, with the right judgment. Leverage makes the call. Six things, in order, with the reasoning, gathered from your calendar, inbox, and notes. You do the first one. That's it.
The daily loop
Five steps. Most of them are mine.
You bring the raw material and do the first task. I handle the deciding, the ordering, and the remembering.
