Define your time-style

What’s your time-style? I’m a more of a “monthly note” kind of person, but many people love their Daily Note workflow. I will still randomly capture sparks in a daily note, but I like to work from a monthly note.

In the LYT Workshop, we go over:

• The “Daily Spark to Weekly Arc” workflow for Gardeners
• The “Monthly Map” workflow for Architects

But for now, you can just play around on your own to figure out what might work for you:

• Open today’s note by hitting Cmd-d (or Ctrl-d on Windows).
• Open this week’s note by hitting Cmd-shift-d (or Ctrl-shift-d on Windows).
• Open this month’s note by hitting Cmd-shift-m (or Ctrl-shift-m on Windows).

A daily note practice is great for many people. Try it out. Just never feel obligated to make a daily note every day. But do use them. Sometimes I log things like meetings, stuff I’ve watched, and notable workouts. Daily notes are great for a mixture of uses, such as:

• planning your day
• jotting down ideas
• taking meeting notes
• reflecting on your day

Here’s an example of a simple view that just searches your Calendar folder.

While I prefer to click on the Calendar tab (in one of the side tabs), below is a simple view of the 20 latest daily notes—including a few from the future:
