Sectioning my To Do list based on month, week, and day has really helped me make more achievable goals for myself

Daily power list - identify the 5 objectives of the day that will push business forward. If you accomplish all 5, put a W for win. If you don’t, L for loss. Don’t put basic shit you’re supposed to do on your power list. Put the stuff that either are most important / productive / challenging to do.

I use a notebook and just write the 5 items pretty big then cross off as I get them done. Simple no bs.

Picked this up from Andy frisella who has podcast called MFCEO (not for everybody)

A to do list with detail... you don’t want to have to rethink each project or client you have to work with.
