Why Planning Your Day the Night Before Drastically Increases Your Productivity

The most effective productivity systems are actually quite simple when you dissect them. But we keep searching for life and productivity “hacks” because doing so ironically makes us feel productive. 

If you spend an entire day reading articles about productivity, you’re not actually being productive. The only way you find out if something works for YOU is to implement it and see what happens.

What you do the day before matters just as much as what you do each morning.

Finish each day by writing the 5 most important things you want to get done tomorrow and start each day by working those 5 things. You can also schedule those 5 things on your calendar. It doesn’t matter as long as those 5 things get done.

If you give yourself a basic framework for your days, you’ll be much more likely to pack your days with useful work that adds value to your life.
