Question
Businesses can implement the 'Two Lists' framework in their task management by first identifying their top 25 goals. These goals can be related to any aspect of the business such as sales, marketing, product development, etc. Once these goals are identified, the next step is to prioritize these goals and select the top 5. These top 5 goals are the ones that the business should focus on. The remaining 20 goals, while important, should be avoided until the top 5 goals are achieved. This helps in maintaining focus and not getting distracted by other tasks.

Then, circle your five highest priorities, and avoid the other twenty at all costs.
