“Too many ideas?” Bonus added for pre-orders of Finish What Matters
Do you feel like you have too many ideas? It’s hard to focus on one because it feels like you might be missing out on the others.
That’s why I use an Idea Triage spreadsheet. It helps me sort and filter my ideas according to risk, reward, work, and more. Using the concepts from Finish What Matters, I ask myself things like:
- Is it a sure bet, or a wildcard?
- How much experience do I have with a project like this?
- How much work will this be, really?
- What are different ways I can approach the project to match my resources?
- What information can I use to predict how this will go?
After I’ve evaluated my ideas, I find I have renewed clarity and focus on just what matters.
