Jason Kumpf Daily Planning
Daily planning of one’s activities is a very help way to accomplish more, quickly.
As a student of Benjamin Franklin and General Eisenhower, I am somewhat compulsive about my daily planning. Not that I always do it, or accomplish everything, buy more often than not, I spend time each morning determining what I want to do that day and put it in my calendar.
I feel that you should not try to plan out every minute of the day (or at least that hasn’t worked for me) but try to have 1 to 10 main goals for the day, have time in your calendar to accomplish them, but have some buffer time as well. Some days (Monday and Tuesday for me), I can hunker down 12-16 hours and just check off lots of tasks all day, usually either deep work and or simple check list stuff. Wednesday is usually a creative projects day and Thursday and Friday are more meeting and communication focused.
I try to tell myself every morning; Jason Kumpf, this is your priority for the day, and then be grateful for that priority.
Let us know what has worked for you, submit and article on your time management or daily planning or whatever other productivity hacks you have found useful.
Best,
Jason Kumpf
