“When you prioritize all the important stuff get done”. Unknown

Do you have a to-do list of all the things you wish to do? How much you actually get done by end of the day. That’s the gap between our priorities and everything else we want to do in a day. A simple method I came up with is to keep my to-do list limited to 3 most important task for the day.

3 Most important tasks which have a timeline and most impact on my life. Usually, these tasks are related to my goals for the year (Refer to my blog, My Simple goals for the year 2018)

I list tasks on my to-do list a night before or first thing in the morning. I have laser beam focus on that first thing in the morning, with few distractions and high energy. Once accomplished I will move on to my second task with more clarity and confidence and so on. Note that I am not talking about my daily workout, meditation, reading or healthy meals. These are healthy habits and should not need a reminder in form of task.

When you write your 3 task for the day on one page, it triggers your subconscious and set your mindset on the task you’ve listed. It had been working for me and this is the simplest way I can track my productivity for the day.

The first task of the day is the one has the most impact on my goals. I usually choose the one needs highest levels of focus & energy.  As I go ahead with my day I keep a watch on the possible distractions and consciously bring my attention to my 3 main tasks for the day.

Planning and following the plan is like a muscle, the more you use it the more it gets strong. End of the day it’s very rewarding to see that all day you have worked towards your goals in life.

Please share in comments if you use any simple technique to keep you focused on your most important task for the day.
