Digital Nomad, I Have 3 Task I Include in My Week to Maintain My Optimal Happiness and Productivity
Jeremy Patrick McKay

Digital Nomad, these tasks are second nature to me. They serve as guideposts, providing structure and focus to both my weekly routines and my life on the road. These tasks act as anchors, keeping me grounded and ensuring I stay on track when it matters most.

  1. Daily, I review my self-care habits.

    • Am I eating enough

    • Taking my medications

    • Following a good sleep regime,

    • Getting adequate daily exercise

  2. Once a week, I create a clear and achievable work schedule

    • Review last week's plan

    • Preview the week ahead

    • I make my schedule using Obsidian. But I am sure it could be done in Notion. Google docs, or even in a composition notebook.

  3. Weekly, and sometimes daily, I review and evaluate my progress

    • This is a time for loving objectivity

    • Be objective about what is going well and what sucks

    • Keep your a record of your reviews

    • Notice one thing that went well

    • Pick one item to focus on improving next week

These are immutable task in include in every week.
