PLANNING IN 9-WEEK SPRINTS. Setting long-term goals isn’t usually a good strategy. That's why 80% of New Year resolutions fail by February. After a series of experiments, I found that 9-week sprints work best to keep the deadline in sight while offering enough time to get something meaningful done.SETTING GOALS AND MILESTONES. Every 9 weeks I commit to 3 goals. I break each goal into 3 milestones to keep track of my progress.TRACKING HABITS. Every sprint I pick several daily habits that I want to develop. Additionally, I track my sleep duration, water intake, exercise, and my mood.INCOMING TASKS. I record all the incoming tasks on my weekly to-do bookmark. I start my day by dedicating the first several hours to TOP-3 thinking-intensive tasks. After lunch, I focus on more routine tasks.PLANNING THE DAY. To get the most out of my day, I use the Pomodoro technique. I break my day into 30-minute intervals: 25 minutes of continuous work and a 5-minute break.DAILY JOURNAL. Before going to bed answer two questions: (1) What was my biggest achievement today? (2) What am I grateful for? Keeping journal trains the brain focus on the positive experiences.WEEKLY REVIEW. Every Sunday I spend 10-15 minutes to review my to-do’s. I reflect on my progress with each of the goals, highlight the lessons I learned, and brainstorm ideas for improving my performance. Finally, I write down priorities and things I am excited about for next week.FREE NOTES. This planner includes dotted pages. Each page is divided into two columns. To add some structure and organization to my notes, I use the small column for titles, keywords, ideas, and action items and the large column for the actual content.
