The GFunnel Methodology

Time Management Algorithm

All algorithms

The steps

  1. Identify the convergence point per Layer IV (your structural purpose). All time allocation filters through: does this compound toward the convergence point or away?
  2. Apply Pareto. 20% of activities produce 80% of results. Identify the 20%. Default-protect that time.
  3. Apply Three Kingdoms to time itself. Third Kingdom time (vision, contemplation, identity work). Second Kingdom time (planning, systems, decisions). First Kingdom time (execution). Each Kingdom requires distinct time blocks; mixing them dilutes both.
  4. Apply Yin/Yang. Yang time (creation, output, expression) and Yin time (rest, integration, recovery) must alternate. Permanent Yang produces burnout.
  5. Apply Rhythm. Honor circadian, weekly, and seasonal rhythms. Fight rhythm and the cost compounds.
  6. Establish observation per Layer I.F. Track actual time allocation against intended. The gap is where the invisible drift lives.
  7. Apply Variable Principle to your own estimates. You are bad at estimating time. Hold estimates as bounded variables, not as facts.
  8. Per Repetition: weekly review. Adjust the dynamic middle of allocation as conditions evolve.
