  1. Getting Results the Agile Way (AGS), Made Practical
    J.D. Meier’s Agile Results (also called Agile Getting Started or AGS) is a time-management framework built on a simple rule: name three outcomes at the day, week, month, and year level, and focus your effort on completing them. The Monday Vision / Daily Outcomes / Friday Reflection rhythm is a practitioner structure grounded in goal-specificity and reflection research, not a formally studied protocol.
  2. Run a Friday Reflection
    Each Friday, review what you accomplished, what you learned, and what you would do differently.
