The Power of the 3-3-3 Method in Leadership

We’re once again accepting applications to the Daily Coach Network, our community of senior leaders in sports and business. We’re hosting a 30-minute Daily Coach Network info session tomorrow, Thursday, July 18th. Register here. 

In the quest for daily productivity and effective leadership, the 3-3-3 Method, popularized by author Oliver Burkeman in his best-selling book Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals, offers a straightforward yet powerful framework to structure our days.

This method can enhance our productivity, while mitigating the stress and anxiety that accompanies the feeling of "never enough" high performers commonly face.

The 3-3-3 Method is as follows:

• Spend 3 hours on your most important thing.

• Complete 3 shorter tasks you've been avoiding.

• Work on 3 maintenance activities to keep life in order.

To effectively integrate the 3-3-3 Method into your daily routine, plan your 3-3-3 strategy the evening before:

Identify Your Most Important Task: Write down the task you'll dedicate three hours to that meaningfully moves the project or vision forward.

List Three Smaller Tasks: Choose three tasks you've been avoiding and commit to completing them.

Select Three Maintenance Activities: Determine three routine activities to help keep your mind, body, spirit and life in order.

The 3-3-3 Method is a practical and effective way to lead our days with intention and greater focus.

By adopting and following it, we can transform our daily routines into a series of more achievable steps, ensuring continuous improvement and reducing the stress of "never enough."
