Tools, practices and methods
The world is full of amazing tools that may be perfectly suited to accelerate our journey, but often we only discover them through chance encounters, and can lose years being stuck in sub optimal loops.
Our endeavor is to catalog a growing list of tools and eventually match them to you based on your context.
SWOT Analysis
SWOT analysis is a strategic planning tool used to identify and evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats involved in a project or business venture. It is a comprehensive framework that helps organizations and individuals understand their internal capabilities and challenges, as well as external factors that may impact their success.
Four-Box Method
The Four-Box Method is a minimalist approach to decluttering and organizing spaces. It involves dividing items into four categories: Keep, Donate/Sell, Trash, and Relocate. By systematically sorting belongings into these categories, individuals can efficiently streamline their possessions and create a more organized living environment. This method promotes mindful decision-making and helps individuals prioritize what truly adds value to their lives while letting go of unnecessary clutter.
Problem Tree Analysis
Problem Tree Analysis, also known as "Issue-Cause-Effect" analysis, is a visual tool used in project management, strategic planning, and problem-solving. It provides a systematic approach to understanding and addressing complex issues by breaking them down into their constituent parts. The analysis is represented in a diagram resembling a tree, with the core problem as the trunk, its effects as branches, and the underlying causes as roots.
The Delphi Method
The Delphi Method is a forecasting process and communication framework that leverages the insights of a panel of experts to arrive at a group consensus or decision. The process involves sending out questionnaires to experts, aggregating their responses, and sharing the summarized insights with the group after each round. Experts then have the opportunity to adjust their answers in subsequent rounds based on the evolving group response. The ultimate goal is to achieve a true consensus of expert opinions.
The Nominal Group Technique (NGT)
The Nominal Group Technique (NGT) is a structured group decision-making process that encourages the active participation of all members while minimizing the influence of dominant individuals. NGT was developed to overcome some of the limitations of traditional brainstorming methods and enhance the quality of group decision-making.
“Eat That Frog!” Technique
The "Eat That Frog!" technique is a time management and productivity strategy popularized by Brian Tracy in his book titled "Eat That Frog!: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time." The concept is a metaphorical way of encouraging people to tackle their most challenging or important task—referred to as the "frog"—first thing in the morning.
Collaborative Problem Solving(CPS)
Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) is an approach to addressing complex problems by involving multiple individuals or groups in the problem-solving process. It emphasizes teamwork, communication, and shared decision-making to arrive at effective solutions.
The Framing Effect
The framing effect is a cognitive bias that highlights how individuals react to the context or presentation of information rather than the information itself. The framing of a decision can influence people's perceptions, judgments, and choices. This concept has significant implications for decision-making in various areas, such as finance, health, and public policy.
Status Quo Bias
Status quo bias is a psychological inclination where individuals exhibit a preference for maintaining the current state of affairs, often resisting changes even when objectively advantageous alterations are available. It manifests as a tendency to favor familiarity and comfort over potential improvements.
