the EARP model
A few years ago in a moment of desperation, I came up with the EARP model. It’s weathered well, so I’m sharing it here. EARP = E-Embrace; A-Accept; R-Reject; P-Postpone. You gotta be careful with the last one, because it just shoots stuff back into the top funnel.
Other than that, it’s a great model for figuring out what you’re going to do with all the stuff that comes into your life.
