The iAlign Filter

What earns your time, energy, and space.

Run your plate through the filter.

Dump what’s on your plate, mark each item against your filter questions, and decide what earns your time. About 5 minutes.

First name (optional)

Your code is your initials plus the last 3 digits of your phone.

The lens: your values.

Pick up to 5 values that matter most to you right now.

Pick at least one to go on.

Your filter questions.

Each action gets marked against these questions, worded so that up means it clears. Edit, cut or add your own, 3 to 5 works best.

More to borrow

FlintThe best questions that will show up in your filter … are actually going to come from the first initial less than perfect iterations.

How full is your plate?

Your answer sets how many questions an action has to clear.

Pick one to go on.

Bandwidth area (optional, tags this batch in your summary)

What’s on your plate?

List 5 to 10 actions or commitments without deciding on them yet. You can paste a list, one per line.

Add at least 2 to filter. Aim for 5 to 10.

Run each one through.

Tap up if it clears, ~ if it is neutral, down if it fails.

Your actions, ranked.

Smaller version: keep a cut-down piece of it. Park it: back to staging for later.

Your decisions

Saves your values, questions and area, not the actions.
