Description

An overgrown backlog is not a promise—it’s a drag on focus and trust. Peter and Richard explain how to release the weight of GTD-style open commitments, use a Kondo-inspired “thank it and let it go,” and sort work into Active / Archive / Someday-Maybe. When needed, declare Backlog Bankruptcy and rebuild from the top, aligned to purpose. Less noise. More signal. Real momentum.
