Over the last couple of weeks, I have been exploring the concept of "The Main Thing'. In this episode I pull together the strands of previous episodes to give a summary of my findings. Today I talk about:
- A simple way of defining the characteristics of a "Main thing".
- 4 reasons why having a Main Thing is your Main Thing.
- The hidden "Shadow Selection" criteria we all have for choosing our Main Thing.
- The fundamental question we are asking ourselves when we choose the Main Thing.
- How the relationship between your goals and your planning horizon affects your choice of the Main Thing.
- Three different work environments that result in very different types of Main Thing.
- Why choosing your Main Thing based on looming deadlines is a strategy fraught with challenges.
- Other factors to take into account in choosing your Main Thing.
