Run on a consistent daily and weekly rhythm, and apply it to real decisions and days, so effectiveness is a system rather than a daily act of willpower.
A rhythm removes the constant decision fatigue of figuring out what to do next, and makes good use of time the default. For each rhythm, write what will actually happen. Answers stay in your browser.
| Rhythm | What happens |
|---|---|
| Weekly (plan and review) | |
| Daily (plan and focus) | |
| Recurring / batched |
Weekly: set priorities for the week, review last week. Daily: identify the day's priority work, protect a focus block. Recurring: when you handle the predictable, recurring things.
A rhythm turns effectiveness from a daily act of willpower into a system you run, that is the whole point. The test is not a tidy plan but a changed week: run your real days on the rhythm until they genuinely reflect your priorities. If your weeks still look reactive, the rhythm is not yet being lived.
