I am notorious for creating day plans that are unrealistic and have WAY too much packed into them. Which is why when I saw Sunsama's daily planning routine it really got my attention & I knew I had to recreate it in Tana.What I created was a simple 5 minute daily planning routine that has helped me create a realistic day plan where I'm working on only the things that matter and I feel like a winner at th end of everyday.
