Ian Koniak on planning your week in advance: rank your critical tasks, then block them into your calendar. This removes decision fatigue during the day so you can actually focus on what matters instead of constantly deciding what to do next.
Rather than every day trying to figure out what I'm going to do, how I'm going to do it, and making a ton of decision. I've already done that once in the beginning of the week. So at 7:45 or whenever I start my day, I will look and I will actually look at where I am on my ranking. Maybe I'm number three and number one and two and then I just pick up on number three, pick up on number five. Now there's going to be things that come in throughout the day. I'll talk to you about how you deal with those. But fundamentally you have to plan your week and you got to plan your day. So for me, the, the act of writing down the critical things I want to do each week, ranking them makes it really easy to plan my day and to task block and put those critical things I need to get done in my white space. So literally every minute of the day is accounted for and a lot of times the week, in some cases where it's a busy week and I only have a little bit of white space, so that makes the decision fatigue, you know, having to figure out what I'm going to do when there's a two or three hour block in the calendar, completely obsolete. I already know what I'm going to do because I took the time to plan it out.
