143: Lost Horizons

How do you decide what to do next? In Getting Things Done, David Allen talks about several strategies, including the <a href="https://gettingthingsdone.com/2011/01/the-6-horizons-of-focus/">Six Horizons of Focus</a>. The higher up you go in the list of horizons, the more you can see of the big picture. Yet things actually get done on the ground level (next actions and calendar) and Horizon 1 (projects), which is where this podcast and its hosts are focused. It’s a good practice to step back from the nitty gritty work, and consider how it fits into bigger goals and responsibilities. We discuss our plan for kicking off 2021 with a closer look at each horizon. (If that sounds very serious, don’t worry. We also talk quite a bit about pierogies.) <audio controls="controls" src="https://micro.blog/pages/downloads/4155/1245555/348249.mp3" preload="metadata" />
