The simplest approach is not always the most effective. Seth Godin offers a Simple five step plan for just about everyone and everything. The operative word is “simple.” The one-size-fits-all approach may work for someone, but other situations are complicated with many variables. So, when you want to “make something happen,” try this:
- Define your goals.
- Determine a desired outcome.
Once those two actions are accomplished, prioritize tasks by:
- doing
- delegating
- deferring
- or deleting nonessential actions that don’t contribute to the defined goal and determined outcome.
