Your priority items for tomorrow are best determined at the end of your current working day. To the high achievers of the world, Jamie says: "Don't worry!" There is plenty of room left in the notes section if you have extra time to log more projects after you have completed your top three tasks. Prioritizing your day will save you time and energy, and can also help keep you motivated and focused throughout your work day. The blank lines in the front of the book are for your use as an indexing system that will aid in reflection and planning throughout the year.
