Frequently Asked Questions

A daily plan identifies your top 3 priorities for the day, aligned to quarterly goals. It includes time blocks for deep work, meetings, and admin — ensuring your real priorities move forward instead of getting lost in reactive work.

Either the night before (5-10 min before end of day) or first thing in the morning (before checking email/Slack). The key is planning BEFORE reacting to incoming requests.

Daily plans aren't rigid contracts — they're intention-setting. If something urgent and important comes up, handle it. But having a plan helps you recognize when "urgent" is just noise and get back on track.

Each daily priority should map to a weekly priority, which maps to a quarterly goal or OKR. This ensures your day-to-day work compounds toward meaningful outcomes instead of just keeping busy.
