Tools, practices and methods
The world is full of amazing tools that may be perfectly suited to accelerate our journey, but often we only discover them through chance encounters, and can lose years being stuck in sub optimal loops.
Our endeavor is to catalog a growing list of tools and eventually match them to you based on your context.
SWOT Analysis
SWOT analysis is a strategic planning tool used to identify and evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats involved in a project or business venture. It is a comprehensive framework that helps organizations and individuals understand their internal capabilities and challenges, as well as external factors that may impact their success.
Problem Tree Analysis
Problem Tree Analysis, also known as "Issue-Cause-Effect" analysis, is a visual tool used in project management, strategic planning, and problem-solving. It provides a systematic approach to understanding and addressing complex issues by breaking them down into their constituent parts. The analysis is represented in a diagram resembling a tree, with the core problem as the trunk, its effects as branches, and the underlying causes as roots.
“Eat That Frog!” Technique
The "Eat That Frog!" technique is a time management and productivity strategy popularized by Brian Tracy in his book titled "Eat That Frog!: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time." The concept is a metaphorical way of encouraging people to tackle their most challenging or important task—referred to as the "frog"—first thing in the morning.
Eisenhower Matrix
The Eisenhower Matrix is a productivity tool that categorizes tasks based on their urgency and importance. It helps users prioritize activities by placing them into four quadrants: urgent and important, important but not urgent, urgent but not important, and neither urgent nor important. This matrix assists in making effective decisions and managing time more efficiently.
