The Daily Highlight is a powerful productivity technique from my all-time favorite book, Make Time by John Zeratsky and Jake Knapp.
The idea is simple: choose one key task each day, the one thing that will make the biggest impact. While we often have many things to do, selecting a single, clear priority increases the chances of actually getting it done.
A long to-do list can lead to analysis paralysis and overwhelm, making it harder to take action. But when I set a Daily Highlight, I almost always complete that one task, giving me a sense of progress and accomplishment.
Every day, I pick one task that I absolutely want to complete. It’s usually:
✅ The most urgent task
✅ The most important task
✅ Or something that will make my day feel truly productive
By setting a Daily Highlight, I create focus, motivation, and clarity, making it much easier to follow through. It’s a simple habit, but one that has transformed my productivity!
Give it a try and see how it helps you take control of your day! 🎯✨
