David Allen · 2015
Supplies the tracking layer: split each area into a project with its intended outcome, give it one current next action, and run a weekly review so a stalled project surfaces before a person does.
Sam Carpenter · 2021
Supplies the process layer: turn each recurring routine into a written working procedure, so checking status is mechanical instead of depending on you catching every ball.
