Challenge:
Jess’s challenge was simple, she needed a way to track actions and Goals in the year. The problem with this was that the strategy to build this system remained a mystery for her. How does she set up the actions, Goals, areas and other smaller metrics that she needed to effectively make this her own tracker?
Solution:
Just like building a PARA system, you have to start from the heavier chunks. The heavier chunks were broken down individually into their respectful pieces. The aim is so that smaller chunks tracked will eventually move the progress bars of the larger chunks.
Example:
- Goals for the year breaks into Quarter
- Quarter breaks into months
- Month breaks into weeks
Result:
The feedback was majority CLARITY.
In a system where Jess must see how much progress she makes on her company goals and her personal life, the quote makes sense “whatever you don’t track, you can’t improve…”
Now she has the metric to see how much movement she makes in all her goals for the year.
