Stay Focused

It shouldn't have to be this hard.

Leaders have a hard time staying focused. You know you need to pick your rocks, but every one of them looks important. You have tried a dozen ways to sort them, list them, cut them down. None of it sticks.

That is why we built the Rock Sifter, to help you quarry your rocks. I built it because I could never decide what my three actually were either. After trying every way to sort them, I sat down and made this. Dump your list into the sifter. The rocks stay on top. The pebbles and sand fall through. What is left is what has to move today.

Dump the list

Everything you're carrying right now. Every project, every open loop, every thing pulling at you. Do not filter. Just get it out. Ten minimum.

Cut to 5

Five is a lot smaller than ten. This is where it gets uncomfortable. Trust your gut.

My Daily Rocks

TeachPassion™ Leadership Rock Sifter

Your 3 rocks

Rocks first. Pebbles next. Sand last.

Rocks

The three that have to move

These get the calendar. You don't finish your day until they're done.

Pebbles

Important, but not the point

Real work. They go in around your rocks, not ahead of them.

Sand

Not today. Not gone.

Push it down. Some earns a promotion tomorrow. Most should die.

The PDF is the "My Daily Rocks" tool from the TeachPassion™ Toolbox, filled in with your list.
