Public Sticky notes
A tasks
are expected to yield significant benefits over a 5-year time span and beyond. This could include starting a new business, writing a book, changing my diet, adding a new passive income stream, etc. It’s perfectly fine for an A task to start producing benefits in a shorter period of time, but the idea is that I expect such tasks to still be having a lasting impact 5+ years from now. This has to be a genuinely realistic expectation, not just wishful thinking.

Organizing and optimizing would usually fall into the B class. B tasks help put you in a position to capitalize on bigger A task opportunities
