A simple, yet scalable personal productivity system, centered around a single 3 x 5″ index card.

All you really have is today. Make it count.

The Today System operates under the belief that while you can plan days, weeks, and months out—you can only get things done today. And its primary focus is on building your best day every day.

I built the system out of necessity–because after trying my hand at the big names in personal productivity systems for years, I couldn’t quite get them to work for me. Out of that frustration, The Today System was born.

It provides 4 essential components that I’ve found lacking in most productivity systems:

  • Prioritization
  • Focus
  • Motivation
  • Feedback

It takes about 5 minutes to start using the system today at Level 1. As you like, you can incorporate higher levels into it, all the way up to Level 4. It’s all up to you.
