How to properly plan your day?

At the most basic level, I plan my day by creating what I call a daily list. You can dpi it basically anywhere. You can use a paper daily list or even rely on the due dates in your task manager. What whatever methods you use, there are few things that you should keep in mind when you are doing your planning.

First, realize that the due dates in your task manager may not paint a perfect picture o lid what you should actually do today or, indeed, what you can do today. So try your best to keep this list limited to what you can actually do. And when you fail, you will inevitably fail sometimes. Make an observation of it, so you can plan more accurately for the next day. And realize that it might actually take some time to get better at this as our brain really aren’t build for making accurate time estimates. In fact, researchers have found that people typically will give nearly the exact same answer when they are asked to give estimates for the best case scenario versus average case scenario. The more accurate those plans are, the more likely you are to stick to them.

With that said, let’s get a birds-eye view and take a look at Hong-term planning.
