Do you plan your day in advance or do you prefer going with the flow?

I tend to go with the flow. I do have a few important tasks I'd like to accomplish each day, week, etc. but I don't do any extensive planning around when/how they will get done until I decide to start tackling them.

Hi! I usually have a basic idea of what I'd like to do for the day but it's never set in stone. I rarely plan my days to the minute to avoid being frustrated.. As we all know that "life happens" and it's quite easy to see your plans disrupted by something you didn't expect. As a developer, I like to plan and keep track of what I have to do in Jira or a tool or the sort. When I start my day I select a few items I think are doable within the time I have. But unless I have a deadline, I don't stress out if I can't finish the tasks I had planned.

Hi ! I always like to plan as I feel it helps me manage my time more efficiently. I like to spend my Sunday afternnon planning the new week and writing all the tasks I want to accomplish that week.

Most of the time, I plan the day before I start the work. It takes 15 minutes to plan the day.

Hi! Most of the time, there's a plan for my day. Sometimes it's more, sometimes less detailed. However, I need at least some organizational basis to start my day off right.

Usually I plan and then go with the flow))))

I prefer to plan everything in advance. But there can be a flow in the order of preplanned tasks. 😁

Yep, I like to plan everything, otherwise, I can't manage my tasks

I always try to pre-plan but then overall life seems to appear as a huge task list :P so i stick to planning my work days but in general things in life i like for it to go with the flow

I used to plan my day in advance, to the hour. But it took a toll on me/wasn't sustainable for me. Now use more flexible to-do lists for the day, and do them around my meetings, so I'm flexible enough with anything unexpected comes or I need more time than planned to the certain tasks :) What about you @johannes_pittgens ?

Go with the flow all the way..🌊🏄🏼‍♂️

I try to plan my day in advance but mostly end up doing what feels in the moment. This was a trait that helped me build stuff too

I decide the night before 3 or 4 things I want to achieve the next day.

Definitely plan it in advance, dont know if you can really be effective without planning your day? Or can you?

I always plan in advance and I use Motion to manage my tasks and multiple calendars in order to optimize my day for the ideal return on invested time - which interestingly enough is a metric I recommend tracking in your work and personal life relative to the habits/ activities.

I like to plan some general key tasks / initiatives that have to get done, and I will make sure to knock them out no matter what After that, it is based on whatever comes up / whatever is regular within my general routine Helps keep a structure as well as forward progress guaranteed, while still having some flexibility if problems or things that need immediate attention come up

I usually don't make rigid plans for the day, but set a few tasks and goals and maybe potential times in the day when I'll take care of them. Usually, I plan on the same day in the morning.

Prefer planning in Advance. To-Do List always helps me in managing & completing it on time.

Hey, yeah that's something I've been trying my best as a part of my new year resolutions. What I do normally is I create a list of important tasks for the day that I can't miss and send that list to myself via Slack chat. This really helps me keep track of all the activities.
