If I prioritized and had a routine for everything in my life formally, I’d be so exhausted...but that’s me.

I wake up, groggily get ready, then go from there! Usually I’ve given some thought into how the week looks on Sunday night. Beyond that, I find it useless to plan since things can change so quickly.

I have a notebook that I write in daily. Capture to do list for the day. But it’s just a list of stuff. Nothing with prioritization or longer term planning

Isn’t that what we’re supposed to avoid? Being reactionary? Or, is that an unrealistic expectation

I’ve found it difficult to avoid in my experience - but I’ve been on shorter projects with a lot of variability day to day, so I’m constantly reprioritizing as I go (except for the high level topics). I think on longer projects, a more consistent/thoughtful routine would make more sense - which maybe is what you were asking?
