From daily schedule management to weekly plans and yearly goals,
Finally, I made a plan for my life.
The art of prioritizing time planning for people who have lost their sense of self due to work.

Now is the time to go beyond simply managing time and increasing productivity, and "design" my time so that I can truly lead my life by focusing on areas uniquely human that AI cannot.
If you've been so caught up in the daily grind that you've forgotten the direction and values ​​you truly desire in life, if you feel like you're living a busy life but haven't actually accomplished anything, let's change your life with "Grip" right now.

Into the book
To be effective with your schedule, you need to keep it up to date.
Do you want a reliable, solid schedule? Do you want to never forget an important deadline or appointment again? Then, from now on, stick to your schedule.
That's all.
If you have something scheduled that you're not actually going to do, get rid of it right now.
Don't be lenient.
Not attending
A regular meeting that isn't happening? Cancel it.
Accounting-related notifications you've been ignoring? Delete them.
Start fresh with only the items you are sure you can keep.

--- p.18, from “Based on the Schedule”

The backup brain will actually consist of two parts.
One is the schedule we've already covered.
And the other one is a to-do list.
A great advantage of to-do lists, even in their simplest form, is that they provide a space to store all your open loops, big and small, somewhere outside your head.
So before you build that space, make a solemn promise to yourself.
There's only one basic rule for using a to-do list.
Don't keep it in your head! That's it!
--- p.62, from “Don’t keep things in your head”

Friday Review is a day I promise myself once a week to (1) look back on the past week's work and (2) anticipate the coming week's work.
Knowing that you've set aside time each week for review and planning means you won't have to worry about what you're missing out on at other times.
If you missed something or didn't make time, you'll find it during this time.
A weekly review that helps you understand your work status only takes 30 minutes a week.
And did I mention that it gives you peace of mind?
--- p.128~129, from “Work with a Safety Net”

Annual reviews consider completely different things.
Instead of focusing on the short term, take a long-term view.
It's a time to reflect on the past 12 months and freely dream about what you can do in the year ahead.
The result? New insights into the year ahead, clearer memories, and a wealth of ideas for the year ahead.
--- p.174, from “How to Plan Your Year in One Day”

If you constantly feel pressure to do better at what you do, it might be worth taking a closer look at the dynamics between these three factors: internal and external expectations, and your energy level.
Once you know whether the pressure is coming from within or from without, you can stop and adjust your expectations or face the external stressor head on.

--- p.234, from “Improving Your Behavior and Self-Image”

My strategic thinking approach consists of four tactics that can be applied to everything from simple decisions to complex dilemmas.
The more strategically you think about your dilemma, the better the outcome will be.
You will become better at organizing, evaluating, planning, and working.
Anyone can think strategically.
But this is only possible if you make time.
So give yourself some space to think.
These four strategies can help you solve even the most difficult problems.
--- p.256, from “Learn to Think Strategically”

Publisher's Review
“I’m so busy, but why haven’t I actually gotten anything done?”
What if I get caught up in today's tasks and miss out on what I really want to do in the future?


We all know the signs that things are getting out of control.
As soon as the week starts, we're already busy catching up on work.
At the end of the day, a to-do list longer than the morning and an overflow of emails await us, and that's the routine.
No matter how hard I work, there are days when I feel like I'm standing still.
“What if you’re this busy and still haven’t done anything?”

《Grip》 was created for you, the busy and busy you, who are worried that you will not be able to become the person you want to be in the future because you are tied up in today's to-do list.
The book's author, Rick Pastor, went from being an engineer at age 25 to leading a team of 30 at Blendle, a journalism startup backed by the New York Times, just one year later.
Working with a variety of people, he realized that new ways of working were needed to increase productivity. He experimented with various methods and shared only the effective ones with his colleagues.
