The Y Principle helps you to get your focus back on the things that matter. Based on Theory X / Y by Douglas McGregor and OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) by Andy Grove, the Y Principle App helps you prioritize the objectives you want to achieve and define the key results you need. The Y Principle App gives you a leverage list of things that make a huge impact. And it helps you sort out the things that eat up time but do not bring you anywhere.
