THANK YOU for this post!! The timing of this post couldn't be more perfect. I am about to start a big project and had it mapped out in a very conventional (linear) way, but this has me re-thinking it. I'm going to look at the project again and try grouping things that are connected (but might not be typically worked on at the same time). This has really given me a lot to think about and I'm grateful for your expertise on planning.

This was incredibly helpful. I'm going to try it working on Winter Camp - I feel often stuck but I think having a plan like this would solve most of those moments. Thank you for sharing this concept and concrete examples, which helped me really see the possibilities!

What tool do you use to make this list? I have to-do lists all over the place, and I'm guessing a project management tool (and the investment in time to really learn it) would be helpful. Or does it really not matter, it is the system of planning in any format that is the key?
