Exercise: Identifying Linchpin Moves

To determine which tasks should be your top priority, start by listing all your major goals or “finish line targets.” These are tasks that, once completed, will have a lasting impact and won’t reappear on your to-do list. Focus on tasks that drive the most significant change or impact in your life or business.

How to Identify Finish Line Targets:

1. List Your Major Targets: Write down all the significant tasks or goals you need to achieve.
2. Rank by Impact: Order them by how much change they will bring to your life or work.
3. Ask If It's a Linchpin: Determine if completing this task will make other tasks unnecessary or easier.

By concentrating on these “finish line” tasks, you prioritize what will bring about the most substantial change. For example, instead of spending time on repetitive administrative tasks, focus on a linchpin task that will streamline or automate those processes.

Pick the first task from your prioritized list and commit to completing it before moving on. Avoid the temptation to multitask.
