Discipline 2: Act on the lead measures

You should apply most of your energy, time and resources only to the tasks and actions that drive your lead measure (the tasks directly related to achieving the goal.) 

 

Lead measures will inform you of the likelihood of reaching the goal. If you’re unlikely to reach it, you can do something about it.

For example, a car breaking down is out of your control (a lag measure). However, you can maintain your car regularly to lessen a breakdown (a lead measure).

If the lead measure changes, the lag measure will also change.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
