In this video, I dive into the COD Framework, the foundations of any solid productivity system. Whether you are overwhelmed by random notes, "must-watch" YouTube videos, or endless requests from others, the struggle isn't usually collecting the information; it’s knowing how to move it into action.
I show you a simple 3-step process to help you define exactly what a task is and, more importantly, when you are actually going to do it.
