Listen "THE PRIORITY PARALYSIS | EP.141"
Episode Synopsis
New year, 47 things on your to-do list, 12 marked urgent—and you're completely paralyzed. Today we're breaking free from priority paralysis using the Focus Funnel and capacity planning strategies that actually work.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:- The 3 types of confusion causing priority paralysis (strategic vs tactical, mine vs theirs, now vs later)- How to use the Focus Funnel to reduce your priorities by 80% (eliminate, automate, delegate, defer)- Why capacity planning requires a 20% buffer and how to calculate your true capacity- The Big Three Rule: Never have more than 3 major priorities active at once- How to implement weekly priority sessions that actually work- Why "Can I fit this in?" is the wrong question (and what to ask instead)Sally Mann says it perfectly: "The measure of artistic success is not money, it's time. Knowing what I have to do every hour of every day is what allows me to schedule, yes schedule, creativity."This episode will help you schedule your creativity by mastering priority management instead of just time management.FEATURED RESOURCE:Download the Priority Framework FREE at https://dustinpead.com/freeThis comprehensive tool combines the Focus Funnel with the Eisenhower Matrix to help you identify what truly matters.BOOK GIVEAWAY:Win a FREE copy of Sally Mann's "Artwork"!
