Daily Themes: Why They Work

Published about 1 year ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader,

I've written at length about the power of theming your time before. And Daily Themes are just one element of this tactic – and they work.

Really well.

Daily Themes are a simple yet powerful tool to increase productivity, creativity, and focus. By assigning a different theme to each day of the week, you provide structure and direction to your daily tasks and goals.

Daily Themes help you stay organized and reduce decision fatigue by giving you a clear idea of what you need to focus on each day. They also provide a framework for brainstorming and ideation, allowing you to generate new ideas and insights within a specific topic or area of interest.

Moreover, with a set theme for each day you can better plan your workload and schedule in advance, ensuring that you have enough time to complete important tasks while still leaving room for rest and relaxation.

Overall, incorporating Daily Themes into your routine can help you work smarter, not harder, and achieve your goals with less stress and more focus.

So start with one and build from there. That's how they started working for me. And that's how they'll work for you.

See you later,
Mike

Hello Reader, Did you know that we’re smack dab in the middle of National Procrastination Week as I send you this? Indeed, this week serves as a timely reminder that none of us are immune to the allure of procrastination. Interestingly, the term ‘procrastination’ originates from the Latin ‘procrastinare’, which literally means ‘to defer until tomorrow’. Historically, this wasn’t always seen in a negative light; it was simply part of planning and prudent delay. However, over time, the concept...

Hello Reader, “Oh, no… I want to do that trip solo.” That was what my daughter said to me after I suggested we all go to Southeast Asia as a family. This was after she declared that area of the world was the next place she wanted to experience. She’d literally just returned from a four-month “gap year” trip to Europe with two of her closest friends, so I’m not surprised that she’d caught the travel bug. I’m not surprised she wants to do the Southeast Asia trip solo, either. But I was...

Hello Reader, Jim Vaselopolous was my podcast guest this week and I must commend him on writing his book “Clarity” in a challenging style that is hard to do well. So the idea of challenging myself, even in the simmering of the start of a calendar year, was something I decided to pursue this week. I started that pursuit on social media and I’ve decided to pursue it further here. This pursuit came in the form of a single question: Would you rather live a long life or a full life? Before you...
