Personal Daily Plan (PDP)

Goal: Pick the 3 most important things today and finish them.

The Personal Daily Plan is a one-pass loop you can run before lunch. It forces you to (1) name a goal, (2) lock in 3 priority tasks, (3) time-box each, (4) execute, and (5) score the loop 1-5 with a one-line note. Repeat tomorrow with the lessons from yesterday.

The tasks

1. 1. Define the single outcome for today est. 5m

   One sentence. If you cannot finish it, your day failed.

2. 2. Pick the 3 highest-leverage tasks est. 10m

   If you only got one thing done, which 3 would have mattered most?

3. 3. Time-box each task with a hard stop est. 90m

   Use a timer. Stop when it rings, even if unfinished.

4. 4. Score the loop 1-5 and write one lesson est. 5m

   1 = wasted day, 5 = best day this month. One sentence on what to change tomorrow.
