Access the scaffolding to reach your most important goals.
The Primacy Cycle
A monthly SYSTEM where you’ll connect in community, generate agency and enact to achieve your most important goals.
Primacy is the state of being the most important thing.
Each month you'll use the Primacy Cycle to
Set your primary focus
SOLVE CORE OBSTACLES
Enact through practices
Integrate feedback into wisdom
The Primacy Cycle is a 12 month program including on-demand trainings to help you design your unique systems and practices and 3 live community events each month:
Start each month with THE POSSIBILITY to define your primary focus
Continue each month with THE WAY to identify priorities and solve core obstacles.
Conclude each month with THE INTEGRATION to turn data, information and knowledge into wisdom.
People who can focus, get things done. People who can prioritize, get the right things done.
John Maeda
How do we know what to prioritize?
What is the next 30 days for?
This is one of the questions to ask at the start of each month.
It helps you focus on what matters most right now and how that fits within your greater contextual purpose.
This isn’t about focus for the sake of focus or learning new tactics. It’s about pre-guiding your attention to what you’re choosing to do next.
By fooling our brains into thinking we're already successful, we lose motivation and energy to do what it takes to actually become successful.
Gabriele Oettingen
What do we do instead?
Dream positive, plan negative
There are two common errors people make in pursuit of their possibility.
- They dream smaller than they should in the long-term.
- They plan more than they can accomplish in the short-term.
In both cases, the result is the same – they jettison the dream. There’s a better way and it begins with accepting the winding road.
No matter the possibility you want to create, that path to get there won’t be linear. And, while there are times to quit and find a new possibility, it’s far more common to quit too early. This is why, each month, I spend time digging into the obstacles – both inner and outer – to draw them to the surface, examine them, and generate a path forward.
In The Way, you’ll identify priorities and obstacles and choose one where you would like to crowdsource help, keeping in mind the following:
- Clearly defining a problem is the first step to solving it.
- People (and organizations) waste time, money and energy when they solve the wrong problem.
- Going beyond the surface to the core obstacle is essential.
- Sometimes our core problem is an inner-obstacle.
- The crowd can’t always solve a problem, but they might help us shift our perspective which can be even more valuable.
Some people get 20 years of experience while other people get 1 year of experience 20 times in a row. Integration is how you shift from one to the other.
Then how do we integrate?
Notice, Access and Integrate
We don’t learn from experience – positive or negative. We only learn when we take the time to pause, notice, extract the lessons and transform it into wisdom – something most people never take the time to do. And, when they fail to integrate lessons into wisdom, they fail to grow and are at risk of repeating the lessons until they’re learned.
You’ve taken some sort of action this month. Those actions generated feedback – some sort of an effect. The Integration is where you pause, notice your wins, notice what didn’t work as expected, evaluate your choices to turn this into wisdom. Wisdom you can use to move more powerfully into your next intentions, choices and actions.
The Primacy Cycle
How do we make our actions matter beyond the experience?
Meaning isn’t something we find. It’s something we generate.
When it feels like we’re going through the motions, the problem may not be the action. The problem may be a lack of connection between the action and something greater – a purpose the action services.
Here’s how you make actions matter:
- Monthly Vision: Your 30-day celebration target.
- Priorities and Obstacles: Your action roadmap.
- Feedback into Wisdom: Your growth fuel.
