What is a Linchpin Task?

A linchpin task is a task that, when completed, causes several other tasks to be handled automatically or become irrelevant. It’s like pulling a key lever that sets off a chain reaction, allowing you to achieve more with less effort.

Imagine you’re running a small business and have a long list of daily tasks—everything from handling customer service to managing social media, doing the books, and developing new products. All of these tasks are important, but they can become overwhelming when piled up.

Now, consider if you focused on a single linchpin task, such as securing an investor or a significant contract. If you accomplish that one task, the investment or contract could provide the funding needed to hire a team or outsource many of those smaller tasks. Suddenly, one big win clears your list of dozens of smaller tasks. This is the power of identifying and prioritizing your linchpin tasks.
