What are you working on today?
Is it connected to anything else you are doing? Are you establishing a practice? Is there anything in common with what you did a week ago, or a month ago?
If you’ve never tried to theme you days, I recommend it.
What I mean by “theme?” Bundle a group of tasks together and assign a time to it (it can be a day of the week, a day of the month, or day of the year).
I am working on my financial literacy now and I’ve crafted a “budget” themed day – a day once a month where I pay bills a month in advance and check in on my automated systems.
What does that do for me? Well, it makes sure that I get all my bills, because that is all I focus on (also, I have a checklist). Since my mind is directed on “financial health” I am in the mental space to come up with ideas on how to improve (for example, the other day I signed up to Betterment because I realized I needed to diversify).
It also gives you a place to “throw things” – I don’t have to worry about bills until that day, so it takes a load off.
Give it a try :-).
