I like this approach much more than a kanban board or a homegrown to-do list for the week because they feel unsatisfying and never-ending. In this model, the big picture is broken down day by day, and at the end of the week, it’s clear I’ve gotten things accomplished, which helps me feel motivated. I do keep a kanban board for larger projects, but day to day I try to maximize my dopamine: I give myself credit for anything I do, even small tasks and meetings, never leave something hanging, always marching on.
