Back when I started noticing that I actually need a schedule to my daily life, there’s one thing which made most sense to me. Having frameworks instead of a linear schedule.

Let me break it down for you.

Having a schedule is awesome. You have a list of tasks to do, each has a priority.

When you have a ton of goals, but you have limited time to achieve them, your calendar/schedule just gets loaded up with tasks. Although at the end of the week you’d end up feeling productive, you’d recollect that each day felt like hell cos of the context switching between tasks.

A linear-schedule, just doesn’t let you achieve the goal you are supposed of achieve. But a framework would.

A framework would let you create tasks that align with your goal. Since, no goal has a straight-forward path from your place to it, you’d have to ensure a set of tasks are done repeatedly.

About 3-months ago, I created a framework called BUILD-ITERATE-LEARN.

The reason behind it was simple: I need to categorize my tasks into 3 buckets of:

  1. BUILDing something new
  2. LEARN something new apart from what you learnt in build.
  3. ITERATE from your learnings accumulated from step-1, 2.

So, everyday my task board would involve tasks for all the three segments.

I’m starting to realize that its not enough

Over the past 2 or 3 months, I’ve been developing this app, using the framework. All these days it was just me, my gym, development of the app and some time spent for freelancing. It was my attempt to right where I’d been wrong. I’ve described that in my tweet
