The EASE Productivity Framework
Not everything on your to-do list is meant to be done by you.
As you look at each task, does it fit all 3 criteria?
1. Enjoyment: You enjoy doing it, or wish to.
2. Expertise: You are an expert at it, or wish to become one.
3. Effect: The results of the task are more worthwhile than other tasks you could do.

If it doesn’t pass all 3 checks, then I recommend using the EASE process:
Eliminate
Automate

a soulful perspective on goal-setting and deadlines - Joyful Productivity for soulpreneursCan you relate to this comment from a student familiar with my content: “I'm seeing this pattern of mind setting up goals and plans, and especially times, to complete things. Then what tends to happen is that the plans get somehow thrown off… Things tend to start after the end of the arbitrary deadline. I thought I just need to get better at doing things on time, but I learned in an inner voice retr…
