About this audiobook
How do we change our focus from what we KNOW to what we DO with what we know?
Discover the hidden power of “documentation” to turbocharge our effectiveness and convert ideas, plans, meetings, and proprietary knowledge into purposeful action.
It’s one thing to take information in, but it’s an entirely different thing to have the systems and habits to do something with that information to push work forward. In The 24-Hour Rule and Other Secrets for Smarter Organizations, business consultant Adrienne Bellehumeur shows how her six steps of documentation can become your and your team’s new superpower.
Drawing on the fields of Information Management, Organizational Design, and Personal Productivity, as well as her years on the ground (and in the trenches) working with a wide range of organizations, Bellehumeur lays out the first comprehensive (yet refreshingly simple) framework for a dynamic approach to documentation. At its heart is the “24-Hour Rule,” a reminder that you need to rethink, reprocess, or rewrite information within 24 hours before your short-term memory lets it go, along with other secrets like “The Skill Stack Solution” and “The Groundhog Trap” to bring your hoped-for solutions into being.
No matter your situation—your files are a mess; projects are stuck; no one reads your processes; your fancy system was a bust; your expensive consultants failed to deliver real change—The 24-Hour Rule is about taking control of your work and solving problems.
With its “zen” approach and accessible tools, it will improve your everyday work and help you realize your biggest projects yet.
