My Favourite Tip - Dom Price: Are you working on the right time horizon?

<p>Whatever happened to that huge, game-changing project you started working on last year? Or the idea you had a couple of months ago? </p> <p>If you’ve got an ever-lengthening list of unfinished and abandoned pursuits, it’s probably because you’re not prioritising the correct ‘time horizons’, as Atlassian’s Dom Price calls them. The first horizon is the short-term: answering emails, making sales calls, delivering final products - anything that gives you a sense of immediate gratification. </p> <p>And while wins in this first horizon are crucial, they’re also a bit of a trap. After all, when immediate gratification’s available, it’s hard to resist. But if anything truly special’s going to happen, it’s going to take the disciplined pursuit of longer-term goals. </p> <p>Dom also highlights why simply setting long-term goals isn’t enough, and details his system for nurturing these seeds over multiple months, or even years. </p> <p>Connect with Dom on <a href="https://twitter.com/domprice?lang=en">Twitter</a> or <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominic-price-0892243/?originalSubdomain=au">LinkedIn</a></p> <p>You can find the full interview here: <a href="https://www.amantha.com/podcasts/atlassians-dom-price-wants-you-to-up-your-communication-game-by-designing-a-working-agreement/">Atlassian’s Dom Price wants you to up your communication by designing a “working agreement”</a></p> <p>***</p> <p>My new book Time Wise is out now.
