Activity Scheduling
Deliberately planning positive or meaningful activities instead of waiting for motivation.
Stephen Covey and the Two Tree Cutters
Activity Scheduling appears in Stephen Covey's framework where he shows two woodcutters with different approaches to daily activities. Covey shifted from valuing continuous tree-cutting to deliberately planning alternating days of sharpening and cutting. The second woodcutter scheduled sharpening activities on specific days instead of cutting continuously, resulting in more trees cut overall despite working fewer cutting days.
