How to Implement This Tweak
- Identify Your MIT
- At the start of each day (or the night before), take a few moments to identify your Most Important Task. Consider what task will have the greatest impact on your goals or projects.
- Ask yourself: What is the one thing I can do today that will make everything else easier or unnecessary?
- Write It Down
- Once you’ve identified your MIT, write it down. This simple act reinforces your commitment to completing it and serves as a reminder throughout the day.
- You can use a planner, a digital task manager, or a sticky note on your desk.

- Reflect on Your Progress
- At the end of the day, take a moment to reflect on your progress. Did you complete your MIT? What challenges did you face? How can you improve tomorrow?
