Theme days!

Themes are not just for new-year parties. Have themes for every day of the week. Make headway in particular areas without an overload!

Here’s what Jack Dorsey’s (co-founder of Twitter) week looks like: 

  • Monday: Management
  • Tuesday: Products
  • Wednesday: Marketing and growth
  • Thursday: Developers and partnerships
  • Friday: Company culture and recruiting
  • Saturday: Day off
  • Sunday: Reflection and strategy

You may not be able to give the entire day to a task, and that’s fine. Block off time as per your availability.

Remember, we all are different, and so will be our daily routines!
