The Pilot method utilizes three-month planning cycles, allowing for the setting of medium-term goals and dividing them into manageable segments. This approach fosters focus on key priorities and facilitates progress tracking.
Each week is planned using a special weekly card designed to record the main tasks and goals for that period. This tool helps maintain an overview of upcoming responsibilities, ensuring that important tasks are not overlooked.
The method emphasizes setting three main priorities for each time frame—month, week, and day. This principle aids in directing energy toward the most important tasks and minimizing distractions from less significant activities.
Daily notes are kept according to a predefined structure, which includes, for example, a task list, notes on individual activities, and reflection. This practice promotes systematic work and facilitates retrospective evaluation.
At the end of each week, a review is conducted, encompassing the assessment of achieved results, identification of obstacles, and planning for the following week. This regular reflection helps continuously improve work processes and adapt planning to current needs.
The Pilot method advocates using a single integrated tool for all planning and organization, simplifying task and information management. This approach minimizes chaos caused by using multiple disparate systems and supports consistency in planning.
