The Great CEO Within by Matt Mochary, framework 1 of 15

GTD lists

David Allen's Getting Things Done system as Mochary uses it, plus a Goals list of his own.

Matt Mochary's framework, from The Great CEO Within, pp. 5 to 11.

  1. Next Actions

    Single, clearly written tasks split by context: computer, calls, outside and home.

  2. Waiting For

    Things delegated, with the person, request and date, scanned for aging items.

  3. Someday/Maybe

    Things you want to do one day, but not now.

  4. Agenda

    Topics batched for each person you meet regularly, so issues are discussed once.

  5. Projects

    Multi-step efforts; add the next action to the list when the previous one is done.

  6. Review

    Daily for Next Actions and Waiting For; weekly for Someday/Maybe, Agenda and Projects.

  7. Goals

    Keep the company vision and quarterly OKRs at hand to feed the Next Action list.

From chapter: Chapter 1: Getting Started, pp. 5–11
