Purpose and Vision
Table of Contents
A clear outcome anchors daily choices - without it, urgency picks the agenda.
Key Concept
If I can't name where we're headed, every ping feels equally important.
Purpose is the outcome worth the tradeoffs. Vision is what it looks like when we're closer - not a poster, a filter for Tuesday's calendar. Quarterly Planning keeps it on a rhythm; Priorities Before the Inbox protects it from the siren. Faith lane: Seek the Kingdom First - God's reign before my inbox rewrites the morning.
A clear outcome anchors daily choices.
Without it, urgency picks the agenda.
Examples
- The team kept shipping random fixes until we wrote one sentence on the whiteboard - reduce checkout friction by half - and suddenly the backlog had a sort order.
- I kept saying yes to every sideline until I named the one outcome for the year - finish the notes garden, not grow six half-built projects.
