Agree with your buckets analogy but would also add/question:
- Having clear goals as to what you are trying to achieve as this will help you focus on where to apply your limited time to your buckets (maybe this is assumed in your post)
- Thinking about how you can leverage your time to whichever buckets by improving your workflows, systems etc and adding automation or outsourcing to get more out of less
Totally agree. The Buckets were designed to show you where you spend your time, your goals help you determine where it should be spent. Between the two you can plan for success :) thanks for the comment
