Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • I get to the end of a packed day having ticked off a hundred little things and still can’t point to one that actually mattered
  • Every week I hit the same walls and learn nothing
  • I give my team a sharp, accurate read on what’s going wrong and exactly how to fix it, and they nod and walk away
  • My weeks get hijacked by whatever lands in my inbox first thing Monday, and by Friday I’ve just been reacting the whole time
  • I’ve got my go-to ways of coping that feel justified and even comforting in the moment, but when I’m honest nothing is actually getting better

  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. Name three outcomes each day
