Buffet’s Blueprint: Mastering the Art of Prioritization with the '2 List' Strategy
Everyone can learn a thing or two from Uncle Warren. At the time of writing this, his long- time business partner, Charlie Munger, has sadly just passed away.
They are the most legendary investors of our age and I learned more from them through YouTube than all my previous economic classes combined!
The "2-List" Strategy
The “2 List” Strategy is in my eyes one of the more difficult frameworks to implement and to master, it comes down to understanding the right goal-setting mindset.
It is a simple 3-step productivity strategy that Warren Buffett uses to help his employees determine their priorities and actions.
Tactics
- Write down your top 25 career goals (or goals for a shorter timeline, like this week).
- Review your list and circle your top 5 most important goals.
- Split the list into two: List A with your top 5 goals and List B with the remaining 20.
Focus solely on List A.
Warren Buffett advises that the items on List B become your Avoid-At-All-Cost list and should receive no attention until you've succeeded with your top 5 goal.
Why It’s Effective
- Simplifies Decision-Making: Reduces the complexity of choices by narrowing down focus.
- Increases Productivity: By concentrating on fewer goals, you can allocate resources more effectively.
- Goal Achievement: Prioritizing helps in systematically accomplishing your most important objectives
Implementing Buffett’s Blueprint
As I adopted this strategy, the challenge was (and still is) the strict adherence to the top priorities. It's tempting to dabble in the less important goals, but true mastery of this strategy requires disciplined focus.
Thanks for reading!
