Dig it. A few years ago I added another step to the process you’ve described: MIT. Of those three tasks you’ve listed, there is usually one clear Most Important Task.

Commit to getting that task done first thing in the AM *before* you even check email (and potentially pulled off target). It helps if you’ve trained others around you that you only check email at certain times (I do once a day at 9AM) so they know to use a different method of communication for true emergencies.

Love the simplicity. This is completely in line with what I teach. Are you familiar with the concept of “eat a frog for breakfast”?. Brian Tracy suggests that we identify our #1 priority, or toughest task that will make the biggest impact to our day, job or life, and do that first, before anything else (even email -gasp!).

Here’s to your continued productivity!

Tell me more about this world where I only need to do three tasks in an entire day…?
