The Modern Branding Playbook
10/10/10
I once read about Warren Buffet using the 10/10/10 rule. Try this approach. What will you
feel like in 10 minutes if you don't make a decision or what will you feel like in 10 months
if it is not made? Finally, what will be the impact of the decision in 10 years? In 10 years
would that decision have had a major impact on your life or business? Think about this
when making decisions. It is clear we are bombarded by many choices every day. This
has caused people to fail to make decisions because they have too many choices and are
overwhelmed. Focus on what is important and make the decisions. Lingering and over
thinking decisions often leads to no decision at all.
List out the most important things you have to do.
Urgent – Must do ASAP
Need to do – Can wait for days or weeks
Must do – Some point in the near future
Would like to do – Not required to reach a short term goal
Can wait – A month or a year
