I like to make a "daily list" of tasks each day. It’s almost like a virtual whiteboard.
I look at my task management system, see what's due today and in the near future, and then use that info to create a simple checklist that can also include anything off the top of my head (such as small errands or tasks that pop up and aren't worth making full task entries for).
This is where I make those daily lists. Each day, I create a new box in this Daily Tasks table and write out my tasks. On the next day, I'll move or delete any tasks that weren't done, then click the Archive checkbox to clear the day from my dashboard.

📝 Morning Pages
Here’s an area where you can do morning writing. The “morning pages” concept is based around the idea of getting up each day and writing something. It could be a journal, loose thoughts, or writing on a prompt. The idea is to just get into the habit of writing.

How well did I stick to today’s plan?
- Stuck to it pretty well! Day was split up with a meeting and a couple of deliveries, but I was able to get a couple good deep work sessions in.
- Also got my leg workout in.
