Theory of Constraints 101: Applying the Principles of Flow to Knowledge Work - Forte Labs
There’s an important distinction between “tasks” and “flows.” Batching these things into “to-dos” is a mistake; they even require different types of systems (whether software or analog).
I use a spiral-bound college-ruled book for tasks. This is my vehicle for manager mode, and I try to keep it closed unless I want to get a lot of things done in a

See moreThe Goal, which laid out his “Theory of Constraints.” Goldratt’s theory explains that any system with a goal has one limit, and worrying about anything other than that limit is a waste of resources. If an assembly has three sections, and two of those sections can produce one hundred units per hour while the third can only produce fifty units per ho

Bottlenecks are the choke points, the narrow parts of the hourglass where everything slows down. They’re the constraints that limit the flow, the weakest links in the chain that determine the strength of the whole. In any system, the bottleneck is the part holding everything else back.
