If your honest answer is me, meaning you, stop.

It's not a build.

All that is is a new permanent job you're about to assign yourself.

And it fails the first filter too, because a mechanic that needs the owner's weekly push isn't compounding, it's consuming.

You know what's great about this filter?

Sometimes it shows you something more useful than a no.

You realize the mechanic is buildable, but the person doesn't exist yet.

You know, that's fine because then maybe the person is the build, developing or hiring the one who's going to own it.

That's a legitimate quarter.

What's not legitimate is constructing one more system that revolves around you because you already know how that story goes.

You've already built several of that crap.

So there are three filters, just to recap here, compounding, constraint, and ownership.

Run your potential build projects list, your rocks, whatever you guys call them, through them in order.

And most quarters you'll find exactly one survivor, maybe two.

And usually it's not the project that you would have picked on instinct.

That's a good sign because it means the filters did their job.

You know, choosing the right build list, that's only half the job.

Protecting it's the other half.

And the protection's what I call mechanical.

It's not motivational.
