try the no work navigator
This tool will help you set priorities for immediate improvements to your system, develop strategies for learning skills that will help you fine-tune it in the medium term, and create a long-term vision that will ultimately lead to No Work.
instructions
You can do this exercise when thinking about your strategic goals, during any team workshop, or when you’re thinking long-term about your ideas and priorities.
I suggest printing this out and keeping it on your desk. Fill it in whenever you get an idea. Then, after a week or two, go through these ideas and create actionable items from them.
To get started, use the template above or any note-taking app to write down ideas divided into three parts:
- Short Term: Improve
Goal: Enhance current work processes.
Question: What can I do today to make my work easier tomorrow?
Example: I often refer to our website; I should create a keyboard shortcut with the link.
- Medium Term: Master
Goal: Optimize efficiency and productivity.
Question: What should I learn to get more work done with less time, effort, or money?
Example: I should learn how to write effective prompts and create a library of prompts for the entire team.
- Long Term: Transform
Goal: Achieve a state of No Work.
Question: What could my No Work look like, and what do I need to do to achieve it?
Example: I should work on my digital twin that would guide people through our educational programs.
