Workflows / Checklist
Daily Prioritization
A lightweight workflow for choosing what matters today.
Template
- List all open tasks that could reasonably require attention today.
- Mark tasks with deadlines, dependencies, external blockers, or user/customer impact.
- Select no more than three primary outcomes for the day.
- Separate quick administrative tasks from focused work.
- Block time for the primary outcomes before accepting lower-value interruptions.
- Define what done enough for today means for each selected item.
- Review at end of day and move unresolved items intentionally.
Expected output
A short daily plan with top outcomes, time blocks, and deferred items.
