Highlights
- PACT over SMART — Le Cunff replaces outcome goals with commitments that are purposeful, actionable, continuous, and trackable; committing to a process rather than a target is the operational version of intentions-not-goals.
- Life as a series of tiny experiments — frame each undertaking as hypothesis, trial period, and review instead of a permanent resolution; the same logic that lets positioning and content bets run as bounded experiments with explicit debriefs.
- Curiosity as compass, not linear ladders — she argues against borrowed career scripts in favor of following signal from your own experiments, resonating with the deliberate, self-directed positioning path over the standard consultancy ladder.
- Plus / Minus / Next as review cadence — a deliberately lightweight retrospective ritual that keeps the learning loop running; the same role the daily-note debrief and weekly rollups play in the calendar spine.
- From the PKM lineage — Le Cunff (Ness Labs) is one of the credible voices in the second-brain scene, and her method treats notes and experiments as one connected learning system rather than productivity magic.
- _Note: collection holds the sample edition — highlights based on the book's published framework, to be checked against the full text._
