Discover the hidden power of âdocumentationâ to turbocharge our effectiveness and convert ideas, plans, meetings, and proprietary knowledge into purposeful action.
Itâs one thing to take information in, but itâs 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 teamâs 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 â24-Hour Rule,â 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 âThe Skill Stack Solutionâ and âThe Groundhog Trapâ to bring your hoped-for solutions into being.

With its âzenâ approach and accessible tools, it will improve your everyday work and help you realize your biggest projects yet.
