Personal Agility - A framework beyond frameworks
summary
Claims a simple, repeatable system (Peter Stevens’ Personal Agility) that cuts calendar clutter and forces selection of 3–4 priorities instead of a dozen; practical tools shown: a PA wall with stickies, a Personal Agility canvas and a daily GROW-style checklist ("what did I do last week, what will I do this week, who can help"). Examples: ran a 20 million‑customer migration, suffered a colleague’s single lost commit that cost millions, then used the system to reduce meeting overload (previously 60–70% of time) and reclaim focused 4–5 productive hours.
