A very simple timeboxing tool - for priority planning & brainstorming

Hey all, I came across this idea in a LinkedIn post, with the goal of making the first stages of planning easy and focused.

If your planning exercises are dragging on forever, this trick from Scott Stevenson might bring you focus and let you move into action.

The tool - called Timeboxed Priority Planning - lets you set a timer to brainstorm priorities and another to capture your thoughts on each one. With a timeboxed writing session, you stay focused on only the thing in front of you, write everything you think of until the timer is up, then move on to the next priority.

I documented the build in this YouTube video, with time stamps if you’re interested in a specific aspect.

What do you think?

Dear Sir, I apoligise, I am trying to create a data base to offer for my company and I have a issue: Because of my ignorance: in My table I MUST to set a formula that generate authomatically a progressive number (a “reference number” assigned to every case) when the Row is Created for the 1st time. Do you know where I can find the formula?

Hey Alessia - welcome to the forum! In the future, you’re better to post this kind of request in the Ask the Community area.

If the format of the reference number doesn’t matter, just click the plus sign to create a new column, and when picking the column type, enter “Row ID”. This will bring up the unique value of the new row which you can use elsewhere.

@Alessia_Fortuni Just in case you don’t know, the formula is:

rowId(thisRow)
