# Cal Newport's Planning System  ## About - Author: Cal Newport - Title: Cal Newport's Planning System - Tags: #articles - URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FipKTzkTD4&ab_channel=CalNewport ## Highlights i'm maintaining my strategic plans an evolving list of core disciplines this might be things about like exercise it might be things about the number of deep work hours you're going to do each day it might be something if you're in sales about the number of calls you make every day whatever but the point is they're disciplines that i try to strictly follow to lay a foundation for a deep life - Note: These disciplines help build habits that tick over even when your motivation to work toward a long term goal might be lacking. It helps avoid the common trap of short term gains being chosen over long term benefits. --- try this one try this one for a month i don't know why it works so well but it does these parts in the way they mingle and the daily weekly and the flexibility it's a decades worth of experimentation it does work give it a try at first it feels like a lot of moving pieces you get in the rhythm and it actually makes you feel freer and actually makes you feel more relaxed ---
