Focus on the daily
The heading for this section might seem pretty self-explanatory. Write out your weekly list and your daily lists, finish them, repeat. But after using this approach for a few months, there are a few nuances you might want to consider.
The point of the weekly list is to serve as the starting point for writing daily lists. After you've broken off the chunk you want to handle tomorrow, the other tasks in the week shouldn't be on your mind. You can pretend they don't exist, as if the only tasks in the world were the ones tomorrow.
