Choose 1 (or more) things to set as your 'daily highlight', something that you have to do.Although many people recommend having 1 thing as a highlight, I often find that I need to have a few (usually 3 or less).Of course, the number of daily highlights will differ from each person. Set the number that you're sure that you can get done in a day. (Because if you set too many, and can't finish them, you'll feel worse off.)How I implement this:<ul><li>I choose something that is based on urgency, satisfaction or joy</li><li>Usually, I complete the highlight(s) as soon as I can</li></ul>

Daily Highlight(s)

Schedule blocks of time to a specific task, or to sit down and get stuff done.Feel free to use pen and paper or an online calendar. (I personally use Google Calendar.)How I implement this:<ul><li>I schedule 'Deep Work Sessions', which are blocks of time when I have to get stuff done. I'm free to assign myself whatever I want to get done, e.g. schoolwork, personal tasks. My Deep Work Sessions are from 9-11am, 4-6pm and 8-10pm.&nbsp;</li><li>Within my Deep Work Sessions, I create smaller blocks for specific tasks</li></ul>

Calendar Blocking
