Write tomorrow's top three tasks

Before bed, pick the three things that matter most tomorrow.

Why it helps

Deciding the night before removes the foggy start the next morning. Three tasks is a list you can actually finish, which keeps it honest.

How to do it

1. Look at tomorrow's calendar and any open tasks.
2. Choose the three that matter most.
3. Write them on paper or in a note and put it where you will see it first.

Make it easier

Pick just one task for tomorrow.

Make it harder

Add a rough time slot next to each task.
