Two Great Questions That Bring Clarity

Uncategorized / By

I am a big fan of “Getting Things Done” by David Allen. In a recent post (1/21/2024) David asked two great questions that bring clarity to most anything:

  1. What is the successful outcome? And,
  2. What is the next action to make it happen?

If you think about it, these two questions provide a framework for being more productive and successful.

What are the results you are looking for from:

  • The meeting?
  • The letter you are writing?
  • The way you are spending then next hour?
  • The project you are starting?
  • The service you are planning?

When you have clarity on the outcome, most things naturally fall into place.

Then, what is the next action you need to take to make it happen? This gets you moving in the right direction.

I encourage you to make these two questions a part of your planning process.
