The Four Intensities of Efforts

There are four useful intensities for your efforts.

• 🔥 On: For the most active efforts & projects
• ♻️ Ongoing: For broader, ongoing efforts
• 〜 Simmering: For back of mind efforts
• 💤 Sleeping: For everything else (random, done, cold storage, etc)

Viewing your efforts through the lens of intensities allows you to:

• See a truer estimation of your current efforts.
• Effectively prioritize your efforts at a glance.
• Quickly adjust your bandwidth as needed.

Twirl down On and Ongoing. Too much going on? Move an effort from On to Simmering.

There, feel better?

So what’s the secret?

We are taking the condition of “Intensity” and making it both visible and tangible.

For as much complexity as there can be in PKM, managing efforts by intensity can give you immediate clarity, calm, and control over your efforts in life.
