Design Your Day. Stack Your Priorities. Build Your Future.

By Chris Whitten

THE PRIORITY STACK TEMPLATE

Instructions: Fill this out every night before bed. Rank your tasks 1-7 (1 = most important). Assign long-term dollar/impact value to each task.

Rank | Task | Value 1 | | $ 2 | | $ 3 | | $ 4 | | $ 5 | | $ 6 | | $ 7 | | $

TOTAL VALUE: $

💡 Pro Tip: Start with #1 tomorrow morning during your Build Block and work until done.
