And how was your day?
Different lifestyle gurus and authors of bestselling business books approach the evaluation of a day or week through the narrow lens of productivity.
Examples of this approach include Ali
Abdaal’s ideal week, Nir Eyal’s (and many others) concept of calendar blocking, and Tim Ferris’ dreamlining of a perfect day.
While these strategies do not explicitly claim to focus on quantitative tasks only, they still foster a bias toward valuing the utility of our task accomplishments, encouraging our orientation towards extrinsic rewards and motivation.
In dreamlining, there's also a focus on extrinsic goals like the amount of money needed to achieve a perfect day. By the virtue that this exercise asks you to describe in detail your perfect day and how much you would need to earn to make it possible, it perhaps, inadvertently, inclines us to value a monetary sum as being synonymous with the achievement of an emotional state that can be somewhat sustained.
