Imagine what you could do if you could master your personal productivity, your time management, and your work-life balance?

Agile Results helps you be YOUR best in any situation.

Simply put, Agile Results is a whole person productivity system that helps you think better, feel better, and do better in any situation.

In a single phrase — Agile Results helps you realize and become the greatest version of yourself the Agile Way.

It’s a learning system for self-improvement and personal growth to be your best.

Agile Results is a Simple System for Meaningful Results

It’s a timeless system for the changing times.  Agile Results is a personal results system for work and life.

The best way I can put it is, it helps you be the author of your life and write your story forward.

It’s a simple system for meaningful results that helps you get faster, simpler, and better results.

You achieve this by working on the right things, at the right time, the right way, with the right energy to get your best results.

Basically, it’s a system that can support you in everything you do.  It’s based on principles and patterns so you can tailor it for yourself or for any situation.

Story-Driven Results … Each Day, Each Week

With Agile Results, you write your story forward:

  • 3 Wins for Today
  • 3 Wins for This Week
  • 3 Wins for This Month
  • 3 Wins for This Year

You effectively use the Rule of 3 to rule your day, the Agile Way.

You use the Rule of 3 to chunk bigger goals down into smaller wins along the way and light the way forward toward your big, bold ambitions.

3 Keys to Agile Results

These are three keys to adopting Agile Results:

1. The Rule of 3.

This is a simple guideline that helps you focus and prioritize.

Bite off three key things worth achieving.

You can use The Rule of 3 at different levels to zoom in and zoom out and take a look from the balcony.  For example, you can use The Rule of 3 to pick 3 results for the day, the week, the month, and the year.

This helps you see the forest from the trees. For example, your 3 Wins for This Year are a higher level than your 3 Wins for This Month, and your 3 Wins for This Week are a higher-level than your 3 Wins for Today.

2. Monday Vision, Daily Wins, and Friday Reflection.

This is a simple pattern for weekly results. Each week is a fresh start.

  1. Monday Vision – On Mondays, you think about your 3 Wins you want to achieve for the week ( or your 3 Results, your 3 Highlights, your 3 Outcomes, your 3 Achievements whatever works for you… my readers have used all sorts of variations over the years.)
  2. Daily Wins – Each day you identify three results you would like to achieve for the day.
  3. Friday Reflection – On Friday’s, you reflect on lessons learned.  On Friday, you ask yourself, what three things are going well and what three things need improvement.

This weekly pattern helps you build momentum and reinforce your motivation.

It helps you be more mindful while helping you make things more meaningful.

It also helps you practice your attitude of Gratitude, if you really slow down to speed up.  For example, Friday Reflection is a great chance to really call out, acknowledge, and appreciate whenever you leaned into your tough stuff and really did the behaviors that make you proud of who you are and who you become (and thoughts are behaviors, too 🙂

This simple practice is a great way to become your Future Self through daily and weekly actions and habits that compound your personal growth and greatness over time.

3. Hot Spots.

Hot Spots are your portfolio of important areas in our work and life.   You can use them to heat map and to map out and prioritize your desired future state and future results.

Here are examples of Hot Spots in life:

  1. Mind
  2. Body
  3. Emotions
  4. Career
  5. Finance
  6. Relationships
  7. Fun

You might add Spirituality or whatever big bucket or category is really important in your mental model for life.

Hot Spots are your lens to help you focus and remind you what’s important in your life, so you can invest accordingly.  They can represent areas of opportunity or pain. It helps to organize your Hot Spots by work, personal, and life.

At a glance, you should be able to quickly see the balls you’re juggling and what’s on your plate.

To find your Hot Spots, simply make a list of the key things that need your time and energy. The goal is to easily answer the question, “what do you want to accomplish?” for each of these key areas.

Most importantly you should have Scannable Outcomes for your Hot Spots.

Scannable Outcomes are simply a tickler list of what you want to accomplish.

When you know the results you want to achieve for your Hot Spots in your work and personal life, you have a map for your future results.

What are you waiting for? … It’s time to get your game on.

Just Get Started.

Focus is the lens through which we channel our energies, ensuring our effort is purpose-driven and aligned with our goals.
