PRACTICAL GUIDE · START SMALL PAPER CO.

Write down the tasks currently asking for your attention. Include small recurring chores as well as larger commitments.
Choose one outcome that matters to you this week. Circle the tasks that directly support it.
Select one lower-value task to shorten, defer or remove. Consider obligations and consequences before dropping anything.
Give one meaningful task a realistic place in your day. At the end of the week, review what helped rather than chasing a perfect ratio.
