5 Minute Value Stream Mapping Exercise

🧭 5 Minute Value Stream Mapping Exercise

Cut the noise. Reclaim your time. Focus on what actually matters.

Ever feel like you're constantly busy… but not actually making progress?

You're not alone. Most of us are overloaded with tasks that look urgent but add zero real value to our lives.

This simple, printable worksheet will help you:
✅ Identify which activities move you forward (and which ones just drain you)
✅ Get clear on what’s actually worth your time and energy
✅ Start making intentional, value-driven decisions — at work and at home

🎯 What You’ll Do:

• Map your daily tasks into 3 categories:
  Adds Value, Necessary but Low Value, and Waste
• Spot patterns and hidden distractions
• Take practical action: prioritise, automate, or eliminate

This is the exact system I teach in Living Lean — adapted into a quick, no-fluff worksheet you can finish in 5 minutes.

👀 Perfect For:

• Busy professionals feeling stuck in the “doing more but getting nowhere” cycle
• Creatives trying to make space for deep work
• Anyone ready to stop being “busy” and start making real progress

🎁 Free to download. Yours to keep.
(If you want to support, feel free to pay what you want — but $0 is totally fine.)
