folks who like to plan their day and stay focused, do you plan your day as the first thing in the morning everyday, or do you do it at the end of the day before?

I keep a notebook, essentially a binder of a4 sheets. Each page has a date (I write them as I go). I list out things as they happen on that page (both sides). Also, can put things for coming days in advance. Notes, numbers, ideas anything goes. This worked for me, I guess because: 1. It's super simple. 2. Minimum time (setup, apps, cost) 3. Less screen time. Also: I use Google calendar for all digital stuff.

Depends on your work or project. I am upgrading this big time. But this is the old version. What is the goal of the week? The most critical ones C1 C2 C3 I need 3 leads oR i need 40 replies Brainstorm on how you can meet C1 goal in a day instead of a week? - time limit - 1 hour and output of 2 hour is i need A,B,C in place to get C1 done in a day. Really pumps you up. Slot time and attempt. C1,C2,C3 in the week I follow pomodoro where i check in with myself every 30minutes or 50minutes where i ask - hey! Is the thing i am doing still important - did any urgent busy work pop up? - what are the critical parts of this task? Do a 20/80 on.. At the end of day, 2 things, - what got done? What helped? - what didn't get done? And what is the impact on you, your team and weekly goal? Eg: i feel shitty about sales and i genuinely My teammate is idle till i get a lead. He loses a day. Blah blah I got 3 sales in an hour cause i identified and did the most critical part first. Eating the frog! ========= Observations: This method makes you reflect in the day, week and pays off cumulatively. It really gets work off your mind when you sleep. And helps you avoid shitty reasoning. Tuning into what you need and how you feel is the best thing you can do for your intuition to really kick in. Right now, my thoughts are in pieces but i hope you can put them together. The thing is this suits me cause it suits my strengths. I love reflecting and dissecting things apart in my head as i go through them. I love immersion and this amplifies that. I learnt this from a overpriced business coach who had a shitty playbook. He focused too much on hacks and not enough on the mental mindset+Intuition. Lots of doing this and that and this and that but never really cracking the fundamentals truths of a task. You need to really get into the mindset of it to plan your day. Once you have a clear why?, You will execute. Eg: you can talk to 5 people who are ahead of you in your field, and ask them how they plan their day. You can intuitively pick up the critical parts and put together something and go. Pick 5 real experts. Not friends or family or resumes= fools. Those who honour their craft go about it like a samurai be it an artist or a coder. So, if you like - call me - i can run a conversation with you and give you a rough daily weekly plan that you can iterate on your own.

@cool-gold-71762 written so well , you should turn this to a blog post; will be helpful to lot of others

Thanks Prashanth, that is a very encouraging idea Would you like to write or do you know anyone who can? I can offer to coach the person into adopting this :P We can use live and real examples. Cause Honestly this is very uncomfortable to do at first. You have to be specific and it has be feeling based. Cause we have been coached to deny, supress feelings for logic. This method comes from Tom chi actually and it got shittily diluted by some business coaches and i think i am honestly looking at the dilute form which i made it a little better. :D And honestly with just a few questions you can turn this generic method into something specific that works for you. A few from The community can probably adopt it and help iterate it. I don't trust methods. Do this, do that. Lots of content out there gets into methods without a real "why this works/here are 4 things you ask to assess if it fits you/here is how you can customise it" I want to know the why of it. So i feel there are 3 levels at which people end up doing a task. (Not clearly articulated, bear with me) Being - Having - having the right resources, tools Doing - doing the right things I used to do a lot of "having" hoard all the nice stuff to use one fine day. LOL But once you crack the being level, the intuitive understanding of why this task even exists or something - you can crack the " doing." Also i have noticed if you are a "being" type person you can crack anything that comes your way. Where have i noticed it? Tom chi Anna vital/Adioma Scott Young (kinda) The extreme contributors in a community open source or normal ( i have so much fun learning from them)

Thanks for taking the time to write your workflow. Interested in learning more about this Priya, will DM
