The Productivity Funnel

The funnel begins with the fundamental task of selection, where you determine which activities to commit to accomplish. Relevant ideas for this level can be found in books like First Things First, Essentialism, How to Do Nothing, One Thing, The Dip, and Year of Yes.

Once committed, these activities must then go through processing, organization, and storage.

 There are two goals for this funnel level:

1. to avoid forgetting what you’re supposed to do,
2. to make smart decisions about what to work on next.
