Hello, fastlaners!
I start this thread to tell you about a tool which I’ve used for a “long” time (long enough for having tested it correctly) and I wanted to share it with you so you can take advantage of it if you want to.
I have to say that this tool isn’t a revolutionary thing at all, but implemented correctly can revolutionize how you use your time, namely your life.
I like to call this:
AP2T – Always Plan Tomorrow Today
Always Plan Tomorrow Today, yes, I refer to it like AP2T because it’s easy (and cool in my opinion).
Why use it?
This tool is very powerful because it brings you something very important; time. Using this tool, you are “investing” about 10 minutes today to get back hours tomorrow.
You should always plan tomorrow today if:
How to use it?
It’s very easy to plan the next day every day, the “hard” thing here is to have the willpower of doing it every day and above all, stick to it to accomplish your daily goals.
The only thing you have to do is the following:
Grab a notebook/diary and at the end of the day think about the things you have to do tomorrow, including meals, exercise, etc.
Then, you have to write the time you start that activity and right down, the next one carrying out the same procedure. The time you start the next thing is the time you finish the previous one.
NOTE: Of course, your daily goals have to be aligned with your weekly-monthly-yearly goals.
For the people who have never planned his day before it’s normal you don’t know how long take some activities, don’t worry, only allocate the time you want to expend in each activity (and you think it’s enough but not so comfortable) and as the days go by, adjust your schedule.
For making this clear, I’m attaching a photo of the diary I use and an example of a random page of a day planned so you can see how I do it.
Since the year started I’ve been using a diary, but it’s not necessary, I used to do it in a normal small notebook.
I’m from Spain so the text is in Spanish, but I’m translating it beneath the pictures.
I plan only since 15:00 as I'm at the school the whole morning so it doesn't make sense to plan anything at that time.

(After eating)
15:00 Resting
15:45 Meditation
15:55 Arrange the room
16:05 Reading
16:50 Make an orange juice
17:05 Homework (School)
18:30 Snack
18:45 Online course
20:00 GYM (at home)
20:20 Shower
20:40 Online course
21:20 AP2T - Plan the next day
21:40 Dinner
22:00 Online course
22:30 Reading
23:00 Go to bed
My routine isn't always like this (although very similar), but I will plan every day depending on my priorities.
Of course, I have not invented this, but I have learned it from different successful people and put together the best practices based on my experience.
Probably lots of you already implement/have implemented this before, but I wanted to write about this for people who have never thought about doing it or tested it.
Did you already use this? How do you implement it? Any recommendations? I’m reading all of you!
*Sorry if some parts of this text aren't totally correct/ they don’t make sense; my English isn’t very advanced yet, but I’m trying to improve every day, sorry for the inconvenience.
I hope you enjoy the post.
Thanks and greetings,
Santi.

This tool is very powerful because it brings you something very important; time. Using this tool, you are “investing” about 10 minutes today to get back hours tomorrow.
You should always plan tomorrow today if:
- If you know you aren’t making the most of your days and you feel bad about it.
- If you don’t want to waste a lot of time thinking what to do at every moment.
- If you want to go to bed more relaxed and have a better sleep.
- If you want to be more productive.
- If you want to be more organized.
