When and where
A review of many studies found that a concrete plan for “when and where I’ll do it” raises the chance that I really reach the goal.

In the morning I write down the three things that matter most today, not a list of everything.

What it is
Three, not ten. It helps to write down when and where I will do it: “At 14:00 at my desk I’ll call the supplier.”
I can write tomorrow’s priorities in the evening, or any time during the day in the Tomorrow tab. In the morning they’re ready for me. Below them are the week’s priorities, and I can take one for today.
Why it works
Only what the sources really say. The effects are often small, but real.
A plan calms the mind
In experiments by Masicampo and Baumeister, making a specific plan for an unfinished goal was enough to stop it intruding on thoughts and getting in the way of other work. That is why it helps to write tomorrow down the evening before.
Start today
Tomorrow morning I write down one priority, with a time and a place.

Where it comes from
Inspired by Tomáš Baťa. Three priorities for each day and a map of goals are among the documented parts of Baťa’s approach. The app adds the “when and where” from research.
