Timebox your Priorities (Coda)
Planning your priorities for the year, the month, a project -- it can drag on for weeks. So in this video, I build a Coda tool called Timeboxed Priority Planning that helps you stay focused by setting a timer to brainstorm priorities and another to dig into each one. It’s a simple way to stop overthinking, get organized, and move forward. Join me as we put it together step-by-step.
Thanks to Spellbook CEO Scott Stevenson for the idea (LinkedIn post: )
This tool is available now in the Coda Guild Library: https://www.codaguild.com/
Comment and submit an idea for a future tool build, and if I choose it for an episode, I'll give it to you for free.
I build these tools every Monday for me, and all the other days for you. So if you need a tool prototyped quick, check out my website: https://www.morningstrategy.ca/
