The term **alignment** is used to refer to *the connection between [[Know Your Immediate Task|your immediate task]] and your [[Prefer a Long-Term Philosophy|long-term goals]], or purpose*. Alignment is a hugely important quality, because it ensures the little things you are doing stack on one another to move you toward your ultimate goals. Alignment allows you [[Build On Yourself]], productivity-wise. This helps connect what would otherwise be the monotony of daily tasks to your [[Ikigai]], and helps you [[Love the Process]]. This shows up in many contexts: - [[OKRs]] are a two-step alignment mechanism, the [[Antifragile Planning Method]] is a more highly-tiered one - The [[12 Week Year]] was about aligning today's tasks with the quarter-long plan. - The [[Six Horizons of Focus]] are meant to line up with one another - August Bradley talked about "aligned living" in his [[Pillars Pipelines Vaults]] videos - [[The One Thing (book)]] covers alignment in one chapter as well. **** # More ## Source - various
