What it does
A decision you keep delaying grows in your head. The fear stays vague, so you never check how bad it would really be, and the small tasks on your list make you feel busy while the big one waits. Each week of delay costs something, but you never add it up. This workflow makes the fear specific. It rates each worst case for lasting harm and likelihood, plans the repair and prices the cost of doing nothing. It then finds the habits that eat your time and gives each a stop rule with a number. Last, it sorts every open task into big work that pays off and small work that only feels good, so you spend the week on the few that matter. The method comes from Tim Ferriss's writing on fear-setting and the not-to-do list.
You give it
- The move you are putting off, in one or two sentences
- What you are afraid will happen, and limits that matter, such as savings or a lease (optional)
- A calendar or list of how last week went
- The habits you suspect cost you most
- Every open task, and the hours you really have this week
- Your main goal this month or quarter
You get
- The worst realistic outcomes, each rated for harm and likelihood, with a repair for each
- The gains from a partial or full win, and the cost of doing nothing at one, five and ten years
- One small step to take within a day
- A short list of what to stop, each with a rule that has a number and a swap
- Your tasks sorted into big and small, three priorities for the week with protected time, and tomorrow's list
Use it when
- You have a move you have put off for weeks, such as quitting, raising prices or ending a deal.
- Your week fills with small tasks and the one big thing never gets done.
- You keep saying "after this busy stretch," and the stretch never ends.
