1/ Today is my first day of trying to really hone-down a "prediction-based workflow" and so far I& #39;m really loving it.
The basic premise: at 8PM last night I gave myself fifteen minutes to run an imaginary preview of today, highlighting tasks and challenges I thought I& #39;d face.

2/ Key - I also wrote all this down, to keep myself accountable
One way to conceptualize this is with the "managing self-creative self" split.
I was giving my "manager" fifteen minutes to "coach the team" last night. White board, chalk arrows the whole deal.

3/ This AM, I woke, slonked some vitamins and coffee, and the "prediction" was fresh in my mind.
Good to go!
The first and probably most interesting observation was that I then became acutely aware of exactly when I was at risk of diverging from the predicted plan.

4/ This kicks in like a "spidey sense" - a feeling of dissonance, a "wait, this is not what you said you& #39;d be doing" moment.
Which is fine. In fact it& #39;s super helpful!
Because the result has been, so far (it& #39;s now 7:25AM where I am), a more productive dialogue betw manager -->

5/ and creator-selves!
Win-Win!
Example: Creator self just said, hey, I really want to write this down. I want to write a Twitterthread!
Mgr: Cool Cool. Do it. Just get back to your 7:30AM task like we agreed.
Haha - and with that, my friends, my two selves bid you adieu!

wow this is going really well; best way I can describe how it feels to have hold last night& #39;s "prediction" in-mind is:
things are more LUCID.
Gonna write more later;
