Themed Days

“The way I found that works for me is I theme my days. On Monday, at both companies, I focus on management and running the company. Tuesday is focused on product. Wednesday is focused on marketing and communications and growth. Thursday is focused on developers and partnerships. Friday is focused on the company and the culture and recruiting. Saturday I take off, I hike. Sunday is reflection, feedback, strategy, and getting ready for the week.” — Jack Dorsey


「主題管理」是繼「時間管理」與「精力管理」之後的第三種自我管理框架。


A goal asks “What do I want?”, but a theme asks “Who am I?”


1 Project per Day

As defined by Leonard Alexandru, themed days are about “Having each day of the week (or the work-week) dedicated to a certain topic or project.” Blaz Kos shares, “Themed days are strategically planned days in your calendar which are completely dedicated to one single thing.”
