Re: Week Hacking: How to plan your week for maximum impact
#2I came to conclusion many years ago that in order for a planning routine to have staying power for me it had to be:
1. Real simple 2. Require minimal effort
If it fails both of those criteria, chances are you won't stick with it for too long. The planning itself becomes something you have to plan into your schedule, for example from the post:
"The bulk of my weekly planning takes place on Sunday evening."
Sorry but that's not going to work for me.

From the article :
"I find this works best to do the night before / or each morning (rather than do every day on Sunday evening) as I found that things can change during the week (meetings go in the diary etc) which throws everything out."

#4I wake up to my hacker alarm clock, quickly hack myself up and go to shower, I hack through it quickly and hack myself dry with a towel. Then I proceed to hack my socks, pants and other hacker essentials before hacking my commute to work.
I'm already late, so I need to hack myself and sprint to the trainstation.
Hacking away at some wordpress themes and finally a master hack to change the colorscheme of my xterm.

#7I developed a similar system to this last year, but instead of defining my tasks for the week, I'd just choose the three most important tasks I wanted to get done for the day at the beginning of each morning.
If I got my three tasks done, it was a productive day and anything else I did was gravy. If I didn't, I forced myself to look back at what I spent my time on that day. The three-task system helped me get focused to avoid "fake work" like meetings, emails, etc.
I eventually coded it up into a simple tool for myself that I still use every day. I haven't focused on marketing so I'm honestly the only user, but I'd love if the folks here could check it out and tell me what you think - http://three.do

Javascript is required to fade the text content in from white to black... Javascript fails = you see white on white.

Nice site. On the front page it would be nice to see what it looks like after a couple of weeks using: will the user see a "heat map" of activities done/not done?
