The Today System

A simple, scalable personal productivity system, centered around a single 3 x 5″ index card.

All you really have is today. Make it count.

The Today System operates under the belief that while you can plan days, weeks, and months out — you can only get things done today. Its primary focus is on building your best day, every day.

I built the system out of necessity, because after trying my hand at the big names in personal productivity for years, I couldn’t quite get them to work for me. Out of that frustration, The Today System was born.

It provides four things I found lacking in most productivity systems:

• Prioritization
• Focus
• Motivation
• Feedback

It takes about five minutes to start using the system today at Level 1. As you like, you can incorporate higher levels, all the way up to Level 4. It’s up to you.
