Week Day Distribution
How a week can look like:
- Mondays can be used as a schedule setting and meetings day, setting you off for the entire week of productive work.
- Tuesdays can be used for thinking, analysis, and writing, with minimal use of email or phone.
- Wednesdays can be used for distraction-free deep work.
- Thursdays as a catch-up day to do all spillover work from the previous 3 days.
- Fridays can be used in an activity that interests you the most, like training other people, for example.

Sundays are a great day to get your errands out of the way, like grocery shopping. Also, take time for cooking meals, cleaning rooms, or dropping things off at different shops. You most likely don't have the time and energy to do these activities after work.
But don’t spend all of Sunday on these tasks. Even though they’re important, you still need some time to decompress.
1. Set priorities on Sunday.
2. Map out work (limit to top 3), play, fit (plan for at least 30 minutes each day), and push (do something that scares you but helps you grow).
3. Batch your days: in terms of creation, calls & meetings, etc.
Don’t jump to advanced listening techniques if you have poor listening skills as you’re very likely to get overwhelmed.
Start by just opening your ears, closing your mouth and looking the speaker in the eyes. Then ask yourself what the speaker is trying to impart on you.
