The Real Reason for MYN: Overcoming Your Overwhelm

It hits me sometimes that many new readers of my books and videos don’t really understand the true value of MYN. It might be because I take people into the weeds too fast about how to do MYN, and I fail to step back and discuss why we do it and why it works so well. So in this brief article, I want to explore that: why do we use MYN and why does it work so well?

At the highest level, MYN is about t

Quotes by Michael Linenberger (?)

“With FRESH Prioritization, you can choose to move select older tasks back to near the top of the Opportunity Now list, if they are still important. But only if you decide they warrant it. In other words, older tasks need to earn their position near the top of your list.”
― Michael Linenberger, Total Workday Control Using Microsoft Outlook

“The old notion that you must place a due date on a task or it won’t get done is appropriate for large project tasks, but no longer appropriate for the large number of small ad hoc tasks we get in today’s business world. We get just too many tasks and too many new priorities every day to constantly be recalculating artificial due dates on tasks. We quickly reach the point that we ignore all due dates. Instead, in MYN I teach you to put a start date on every task to guide task timing, and to use a deadline only on tasks with true hard deadlines.”
