Structure

Structures aren’t about restriction—they’re about freedom. When we build systems that work for us, we remove friction, gain clarity, and create space for what truly matters. This section explores frameworks, workflows, and techniques designed to streamline life without feeling rigid.

Through prioritisation, time management, energy optimisation, and productivity systems, these strategies help you refine how you work, what you focus on, and how you manage your time and energy. Whether you’re tweaking habits, defining boundaries, or optimising workflows, this space is here to help you shape structures that work for you.

Prioritisation

Not everything can be a priority—but by focusing on what truly matters, we create clarity, reduce overwhelm, and make intentional choices that drive meaningful progress

Time Management

Time isn’t something we find—it’s something we shape. Structuring our hours wisely, through strategies like time blocking and 168-hour tracking, helps ensure we maximise effort while protecting balance

Energy Optimisation

Productivity isn’t just about time—it’s about energy. Understanding energy cycles, leveraging peak focus periods, and building sustainable habits keeps us working smarter, not harder.

Productivity Systems

Great systems don’t restrict you—they free you. From GTD to habit stacking, refining workflows helps remove friction and keeps momentum flowing effortlessly

Getting Things Done (GTD) is a productivity method created by David Allen, designed to help individuals manage commitments, reduce stress, and make confident decisions. At its core, GTD provides tools to capture thoughts, clarify what they mean, organize them into trusted systems, and regularly review priorities, so that nothing important slips through the cracks. This system isn’t just about getting more done; it’s about getting the right things done with clarity and ease.

Horizons of Focus

HorizonFocus AreaDescription
Horizon 5Purpose & PrinciplesCore values and ultimate intentions the “why” behind all commitments.
Horizon 4VisionLong-term direction, describing what success looks and feels like.
Horizon 3Goals & ObjectivesConcrete achievements to realize the vision over 1–2 years.
Horizon 2Areas of Focus & AccountabilityKey roles and responsibilities that need regular attention.
Horizon 1ProjectsDefined outcomes requiring multiple actions, complete within a year.
Ground LevelNext ActionsDay-to-day tasks and time-specific activities to keep things moving.

Explore which horizons feel most active or neglected in your current rhythm. Use this as a lens for reflection, goal setting, or recalibration.

Workflow stages:

  • 1. Capture – Collect what has your attention. Use leakproof external “buckets” to offload tasks, ideas, and reminders. Fewer, trusted inboxes work best.
  • 2. Clarify – Process what it means – Is it actionable? If yes, define the next physical step. If no, toss, incubate, or file as reference.
  • 3. Organise – Put it where it belongs. Sort into appropriate lists: Projects, Next Actions, Calendar, Waiting For. Add categories, reference files, and checklists as needed
  • 4. Reflect – Review frequently. Daily check-ins and a Weekly Review keep everything aligned. Look across all horizons to stay current.
  • 5. Engage – Do with confidence. Take action based on context, time, energy, and priority. Choose from predefined work, new tasks, or defining work itself
