Monthly MethodYour first sprint goal doesn’t matter (and what actually does)What if the reason you’re stuck isn’t the goal you picked — but the fact that you’re trying to pick the "perfect" one? In this episode, I share why your first sprint goal barely matters, what the first sprint is really for, and why messy starts often lead to the most meaningful progress. If you’ve ever felt busy but not truly moving forward, this might change how you begin.Learn about my private membership where we cultivate a focused life: https://monthlymethod.com/focus-room/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=social&utm_term=&utm_content=First-goal...

2021-03-0111 minMonthly MethodSprint Planning for Personal ProductivityLet's talk about the concept of a sprint. It comes from the Agile project management methodology. I first saw it being used in a startup I worked for years ago. I saw the power of short-term planning and how fruitful it can be if implemented strategically. Back then I decided to find a way to adopt the idea of a sprint planning for my personal life. Today I want to share what happens when you choose to ignore the conventional productivity advice and focus on something completely different instead.
