ICOR® Actionable Output Elements
The only actionable Output Element in ICOR® is the "task".

They could even be under 15 minutes. It’s what we call a “speedy”, a concept we explain further in our “Task Management like a Pro!” course.

Dealing with Tasks
Every task should start with an action verb like Create, Design, Write.
This ensures clarity and motivation, setting a clear outcome expectation.
For complex tasks, break them down into sub-tasks.
This maintains clarity and ensures each step aligns with the overall goal.
