What is the next one thing?

My home page highlights what I focus on with my clients: “What’s Next”, typically supporting them on major change, meaningful impact.

Today, though, as the week starts, I’m reminded of a client who recognises in themselves that, at the end of each meeting with me, one thing they need to do for themselves is to agree and write down “what is the next one thing?“. Not the major, transformative, long term visionary and strategic work we do together, but: “what is the next one thing”, as this supports them with momentum on our work as they step back into their workweek.

Now, that client and I both share that we use Evernote to record all our tasks. If you search my 1000+ daily posts you will see I’ve written about Evernote at least five times, it is what I use as my memory and to ensure I don’t forget tasks and timings.

So, for me as the week starts, in addition to another full work week, at the end of the week I am moving house, with all that entails. I will absolutely be relying on Evernote to help me through the week hour by hour, day by day, with “what is the next one thing?”.
