8,760 Hours: How to get the most out of next year (2016)

I would challenge the author of this document to try and get this down to 10 pages or preferably less. I’ve had a skim through and I’m not convinced this needs to be a 22 page document. The longer and more involved these planning systems are, the more I think they verge into procrastination territory.

Or even a different presentation method. A quick checklist of the actual process that is two pages long at most at the start of the document, and then a reasoning and details section if people want the deep dive.

I agree. I also think the list can be pared down from what I see so far, such as in "Values and purpose" it lists: "What are my fundamental values?" and "What do I truly value?"

These are pretty much the same question. I think three per section would be a good max, 12 is already a lot of categories.

Overall this seems pretty cool though, I'm going to skim through it.

I’d argue a vast majority of the “productivity industry” is ironically just procrastination.

I disagree. If you actually go through the document, everything of value is well laid out and lets you skim. It would have been much harder to skim and many procrastinators would just skip even reading the 2 pages.

On the other hand, a 2 page thing in addition would be a good summary which anyone can make rather than challenging the author.
