Answer 1

Answer:

Our minds are incredibly powerful, but they weren’t built for the office environment.

In the office, we’re always moving from task to task. We’re reviewing a document, giving a presentation, talking to Beth from accounting—and our attention is constantly switching from one thing to another. We lack focus.

What we need is a structure we can use to make our minds more effective.

About a decade ago, I needed a way to capture my knowledge on some of the subjects that were important to me. I didn’t necessarily want to write a book, I just wanted to have a reference guide for the best way to do the things in my life.

At the time, I only had scraps of information—notes from meetings and passages I’d marked in books. But there was nothing that really tied it all together. So, I began creating documents that I called BeCT, or Best Current Thinking documents.
