Summary
- To-do lists can be overwhelming and a simpler method with more fulfilling results is using a daily highlight method
- This involves choosing one thing per day that is urgent, satisfying, or joyful and focusing on that
- Research shows that fewer priorities improves clarity and reduces decision fatigue
- Using this method means you are prioritising what is important to you, over busy work
- For the best results, pick the daily highlight the night before, write it down and ensure it is realistic and achievable
- Keep the highlight flexible, and reschedule if needed, the important thing is progress, not perfection
