Again, this will show your outcomes at the next chronological level up and help you focus on the right things.

List of Monthly Outcomes for Reference.I don’t personally do this but it is part of Agile Results. If you like, you can sketch out a rough plan of your week Monday through Sunday, day-by-day. Give each a title, a process and a result. It should also include 3 things that are going well that week, and 3 things to improve on. This is where you describe your week, and reflect on things at the start and end of the week. We have found that this helps immensely with keeping track of the bigger picture and longer-term goals. This is so you can see the immediate next level up from your daily outcomes. List of Weekly Outcomes for Reference.You can and should use Evernote checkboxes for this. List the tasks that form your outcome, as well as other tasks that sit outside of your outcomes. Each has a title, a process (how it’s done) and a result (what it will look like when it’s done). This is where you get to describe the events or other thoughts about your day in free-flow writing. You then want to create your own journal templates as individual notes inside the Journal Templates notebook.

You then want to drag-and-drop them into one notebook stack and call it “Personal Journal” or “Agile Journal” or something similar. The first thing you want to do is create some notebooks in Evernote: Setting this up is pretty straightforward. Your wiki or database – we recommend DevonThink on Mac – stores all your references. You task manager will hold your hot spots (areas of life), your queues (lists of things to do) and your actions (before they are copied into Evernote).

The Rule of 3, in the form of outcomes.

So which parts of this do we recommend go into Evernote?

A weekly cycle of vision, outcomes and reflection.

Let’s start with a list of the big concepts and ideas in Agile Results. It should also be noted that what is described here does not strictly conform to the Agile Results system as it is originally taught, but because the system itself is so flexible and provides a robust framework, it still works very effectively. Some of the things may overlap what the introductory series and some things will be a little different – that’s because systems evolve over time with use. It is assumed you have read both JD Meier’s book Getting Agile Results, and our introductory series, otherwise this guide may not make that much sense.

In this much-requested follow-up article to our introductory series to Agile Results, I want to show you how to deploy your Agile Results system inside Evernote.
