- In this episode of The Visible Workplace, Dr. Thomas Rolley introduces "The Door," a powerful concept for achieving a single "important, but not urgent" weekly target.
- He starts with the Door because it is the mechanism that "gets things done" every week.
- He discusses the importance of having a single location to capture the work of your world and ensure it's all in one place. Stop losing ideas and work and create a single place to hold and execute work.
- This list allows you to assess the value of these ideas...
Do some need to be thrown out?
Delegated?
Done now? - He then discusses the concept of "The Door" of the week: a single important but not urgent idea that gets done that week. The Door is split into four "hits" that, when completed, open the door.
- The final part of the podcast examines the simple yet extremely powerful idea of completing four work items each day. This requires identifying and then completing these items in a daily column.
- The overall outcome for the week is 20 items getting done - moved from the Hot List to the daily execution list. A final point can be scored for "opening the door", giving a total possible score of 21 each week.
- The Door is a critical part of living a productive and rewarding life known as the "Warriors Way". Find out more at trainers.wakeupwarrior.com
