# Task Prioritization: LNO Framework **When to use:** When overwhelmed with tasks, during weekly planning, or when feeling busy but not productive **Framework source:** Shreyas Doshi's LNO Framework (popularized by Aakash Gupta) ## Quick Start 1. Paste your task list (calendar, to-do list, or just describe your week) 2. I will classify each task as **L** (Leverage/10x), **N** (Neutral/1x), or **O** (Overhead/<1x) 3. I will calculate your L/N/O time distribution and compare to the healthy target (40/35/20) 4. I will suggest specific tasks to eliminate, delegate, or timebox 5. Output: a prioritized weekly plan with calendar blocking recommendations **Healthy target:** 40-50% Leverage, 30-40% Neutral, 10-20% Overhead. If Leverage is below 30%, something is wrong. --- ## The LNO Framework Classify every task into one of three categories: ### L = Leverage Tasks (10x your impact) **Definition:** Activities that disproportionately increase your impact **Characteristics:** - High effort, HIGH impact - Compound over time - Often urgent AND important - Create lasting value **Examples:** - Writing a PRD that aligns 5 teams - Building a dashboard that automates reporting - Creating a decision framework teams can reuse - Designing an onboarding flow that improves activation - Strategic 1:1s with key stakeholders - User research that uncovers major insights **Impact:** 10x --- ### N = Neutral Tasks (Regular impact) **Definition:** Necessary work with linear impact **Charac
