High Leverage Activities (HLAs) Principle

A prioritization framework for identifying and protecting the small number of activities that generate disproportionate results. The HLA principle teaches that not all activities are equal—some multiply your effectiveness while others drain it—and strategic people ruthlessly focus on the high-leverage few.

What this skill walks you through

  1. Identify your HLAs—know which activities truly move the needle
  2. Eliminate distractions—protect your time from low-value activities
  3. Focus ruthlessly—concentrate energy on HLAs
  4. Be intentionally strategic about your HLAs—even high-leverage activities need strategic planning and execution
