HIGHLIGHT

HIGHLIGHT

If you set a single intention at the start of each day, then you will be more satisfied at end of the day after completing that task.

Focusing on a daily highlight stops the tug-of-war between Infinity Pool Distractions and the demands of Busy Bandwagon.

It creates a 3rd path: Being intentional and focused about how you spend your day.

A Highlight should be bigger than a task but smaller than a major project.

Busy Bangwagon & Infinite Pools

Busy Bangwagon & Infinite Pools

Busy Bandwagon: This is the illusion of endless tasks.

Infinity Pools: Apps and other sources of endless (or infinity) replenishing contents. These are the endless distractions.

These days 'BUSY' is just like a 'Badge of Honour'

We are just trying to squeeze productivity into every minute of the day and forget to live more intentionally.
