What are 3 great results for today? That’s the question I ask to bootstrap my day. As simple as it sounds, I find it’s the most effective way to cut through the fog each day. There’s a lot of things I can do and there’s lots of activities I’ll be doing, but what are 3 great outcomes for today. That’s it.
Example
This is an example of my 3 great results for this past Monday:
- Ship Beta 1 of App Arch
- Beta 1 Post for App Arch
- Draft of Designing Your Architecture
Great is relative.
Why 3 things? It forces me to prioritize among a sea of potential results. Also, I can remember 3 things without writing them down, so throughout my day, I know what I’m working towards. I can say it in the hall.
If you manage endless to do lists and work on a bunch of stuff but don’t actually get anything done, try focusing on 3 great results each day. It works.

When I came across this blog entry of J.D. Meier, I know I just find a lamp to lighten up the to-do list fog.
