Thanks! I'll give the most simple and effective technique for me.
On a day-to-day basis, I usually have a pretty good idea of what I should be working on.
My issue is actually doing it. I can work hard for a full day, but not seemingly get anything done.
So one technique is to chunk the tasks up. Pretty well established technique. But I'll chunk smaller and smaller until I get momentum on what I need to do. That could mean picking a goal that only takes a minute.
Sounds laborious, but it's more about building momentum than building a plan. Maybe I want to start a newsletter. So I set a goal of setting up a Mailchimp account. And by the time I get to that... I pick something else.. eventually momentum kicks in and I start getting it done.
Works for me anyway!
Looking at the long term is important too! But I do that infrequently, and usually big, big picture instead.
