Your priority for the day

Back to Explore Habits

Design your day around a single priority instead of letting your inboxes fill it.

Micro-habits to get started

Small actions of a few minutes to start this habit:

Choose your priority

Every morning (or the night before), choose the one thing that, if you do it, will leave you satisfied at bedtime.

It isn't the to-do list: it's 'the' task that genuinely matters.
2 min
Book and protect its block

Set aside a block of time for your priority and keep distractions away during it.

Start with the priority before opening your email; the first thing you touch sets the day.
3 min
Mini-review at the close

At the end of the day, spend a minute checking whether you met your priority and what distracted you.

It isn't an exam: it's fine-tuning what works for you.
