Digital tools designed to enhance our productivity and help us manage information have proliferated over the past two decades. These tools are great for tracking and executing tasks, but less helpful when it comes to figuring out what work we should be doing in the first place.

LNO: Framework to prioritize time. There are leverage, neutral, and overhead tasks, where you get 10x, 1x or < 1x output. You should focus your best and the most hours on leverage tasks.
