8 Productivity Methods People Swear By (That You Might Need RN)

The Action Method was developed in 2006 by Behance as a way of simplifying creative meetings.

Being creative often means you have to think outside the box... but getting things done means you have to put it all back inside the box to make it work. How do you do that, exactly? Well, according to the Action Method, you break down ideas into three categories: Action Items, Backburner Items, and Reference Items.

Action: The steps you'll take to get it all done.

Backburner: Interesting, but maybe not for this project.

Reference: The resources and information you'll need.
