"Either you run the day or the day runs you." -- Jim Rohn
- How long has it been since you've had a really good, satisfying workday?
- Why don't highly productive "Hit it out of the ballpark" days happen more often?
- How regularly do your best intentions get derailed by interruptions, distractions, and procrastination?
This guide teaches you the classic time management technique of daily planning, but modernized for your rapid-fire worklife. By investing a small percentage of time each day, you can keep your focus anchored on your most important work in spite of everything swirling around you, and go home feeling thoroughly satisfied.
You'll learn a practical step-by-step method that you can start using in 10 minutes. Then go deeper with worksheets, answers to common questions, example plans, and small experiments to make you more productive. Along the way it covers important topics like prioritizing, procrastinating, handling interruptions, and finishing your entire list (get a "touchdown!")
Finally, it's the perfect missing link for popular productivity systems like David Allen's "Getting Things Done" (GTD), where having to manage hundreds of actions/tasks is too overwhelming.

Testimonials
"I can't emphasize how important the formal planning process you've described in your guide is. Estimating how long a task takes, blocking out enough time for it on the day's calendar, tracking it and adjusting the day's plan as necessary: this is black belt behavior."
"Your unique method for the daily plan was easy to implement and quick to master. Through the streamlined productivity approach, I am able to set realistic goals each day, manage my time more effectively, and feel good about finishing my work my work each day. Thank you!"
"This is a crucial tool if you're struggling with GTD. Ultimately, after all the gear has been gotten and your system set up and the process of generating lists refined, it's just you and your overwhelmingly long list of actions. If the work's not getting done, it can be discouraging. It's good to have a tool that will lead you to productivity."

You Did WHAT?
99 Playful experiments to live a healthier and happier life Downloadable PDF |
This is my guide to small activities you can easily try that help you be more engaged with your world. Unlike other books on improving your life, our approach uses small observations to foster change naturally through awareness.
The book starts with an essay introducing our unique perspective on treating life as an experiment, details the procedure for how to run them (including managing your experimenter's notebook and celebrating your results), and then lists 99 of them grouped by topic - Mindset, Emotions, Relationships, Being present, Community, Just for fun, Health, and Work.
Here's a sneak peek of a bonus one from the financial realm:
- Saving Money: For one month count the times you eat out at a restaurant. Don't worry about changing your behavior, just tally them up. Afterwards, look at the final numbers. Did the total surprise you? Did you become more aware of the cost? Did you find yourself thinking about whether to instead eat at home? Were there any patterns you could discern?
