Give work a front door
Replace scattered requests with one intake queue. Capture the goal, the owner, and the date before a task becomes a project.
Write down the one thing you want to get out of your next choice.
Write down the decision
The useful part of a conversation is often the conclusion. Keep a short decision log next to the work so the next person can catch up.
Compare two options. Notice which details you keep coming back to.
Close the loop
A completed task should tell a story: what changed, where to find it, and who needs to know. End the week with a short review, not another spreadsheet.
Save a favorite, then give yourself a little time before deciding.
