DANIEL THORPE CETABC - MAY 2016
The mind is for having ideas, not for holding them.

Building A Trusted System
Write Everything Down
You need five “To Do” lists:

- Next Actions
- (To Do’s for today)
- Project List
- (Running list of all your projects)
- Waiting
- (For delegated tasks; call-backs)
- Someday / Maybe
- (Dreams, ideas, projects not currently
active)
The technology isn’t important…
