I study individuals who share openly about their productivity workflows. Their processes range from simple to complicated. But the daily common denominators boil down to this:

1. Plan
2. Review

It seems too basic, but when I look at stretches of days where I feel like I’ve accomplished more, it’s usually obvious that I’ve been more intentional during those times.

There are many tools to work out the details, but the questions are simple:

1. What are you going to do?
2. Did you do what you said you were going to do?

What’s left is the decision to do the work.
