Making the Transition to Self-Maintaining Systems

Shifting from review-based to self-maintaining productivity requires intentional changes to your workflow:

• Process items properly in the moment rather than deferring organization.
• Connect new tasks to the right project immediately when capturing.
• Update task status right away upon completion.
• Link notes to related information in the moment of creation.
• Resist the urge to conduct "just to make sure" reviews as you build trust.
