Do the Damn Thing Insight: Ditch the Guilt, Embrace Prioritization
Traditional advice tells us to put others first. But what if prioritizing yourself could lead to better outcomes? Introducing the concept of "guilt-free future planning," which involves three steps: the brain dump, the DAMN matrix, and walking the plank. This approach flips conventional wisdom by encouraging you to prioritize tasks based on their impact on your life. It's not about being selfish; it's about strategic time management and personal growth.
Try This Instead
- Start with a Brain Dump: Write down all your goals and ideas. Don't censor yourself—get everything out of your head and onto paper.
- Use the DAMN Matrix: Organize tasks by their impact and effort. Focus on high-impact, low-effort tasks first to gain momentum.
- Walk the Plank: Prioritize your tasks one at a time. Commit to taking action on these in order of their importance.
- Schedule Selfishly: Use your calendar to set aside time for your prioritizations. Make sure to honor these appointments with yourself.
