My First Million
The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.
Daily Highlight
A productivity technique where you identify and focus on completing one most important task each day, rather than managing long to-do lists.
How It Works
Works by forcing prioritization and preventing decision paralysis. Reframes the task as 'today's adventure' to make it more enjoyable and engaging.
Components
Ask yourself: 'What is the most important thing I need to do today?'
Reframe it as an adventure to increase enjoyment
Focus solely on that one outcome before addressing other tasks
Treat completion of this task as making the entire day successful
When to Use
When you feel overwhelmed by multiple tasks, struggling with productivity, or finding yourself busy but unaccomplished at day's end.
When Not to Use
During periods requiring rapid task completion across many small items, or when operating in purely reactive mode responding to urgent requests.
Anti-Patterns to Avoid
Example
“Instead of a 10-item to-do list, you choose 'find the right person for this role' as your highlight, which might involve 5 sub-tasks but has one clear outcome that moves your business forward.”
