Ditch Your Weekly Priorities For This

All the best productivity advice tells us to construct goals.

Have Big Hairy Audacious Goals that focus on the long-term, they say. Keep your momentum with yearly and quarterly goals. Add on weekly priorities, and it’s planning after planning.

Instead of weekly priorities, I’m starting to:

Compress goals into the day, making weekly priorities obsolete.

My working life is a mix of spontaneous creation, problem resolution, and intense focus.

Planning my weeks has become a redundant chore because I’ve become great at executing my top priorities.

My quarterly goals are essential, and the only time I can make progress is in the day.

Through projects is how I achieve my quarterly Objectives and Key Results.

Each day I look at my project list and what deserves my full attention at the present moment. I set a couple of uninterrupted focus blocks to push those projects forward.

I’m no longer setting weekly priorities but rather compressing my goals further down into the day.

I always prepare what’s the next best priorities for the following day.

99% of your time should be executing while 1% on planning what’s important.

We need to move further away from planning (procrastinating) and into daily focused execution.

Forget the work-life balance myth. Are you ready to start living your best life?
