Comment on Prioritize Through Purpose

Comments

Well, The Goal book which is recommended by Mr Beast perfectly address this issue of prioritization. First, you need to clearly define your goal and then you need to identify and address the biggest bottleneck and all other features/problems must give way to this problem first. After you address the biggest bottleneck, you will find another bottleneck , you repeat the process.

Gabriele Oettingen's WOOP (Wish, Outcome, Obstacles, Plans) technique [1] is pretty much the same thing. Her book on the topic Rethinking Positive Thinking was published in the same year as The Goal book. (I haven't read the latter admittedly)

Is it possible that you are off by a few decades? I believe The Goal is 1984 and her book was 2014?

You're right, my mistake.

The Goal audio book is included in Spotify premium.

It’s surprisingly well done, in that it’s more like audio theatre with different voice actors, sound effects, and so on, as opposed to a single voice actor doing different characters.
