The concept of an ideal week is to plan on paper all the critical tasks that occur in a typical week and organize them so you can be most productive.

In most of our daily activities we choose the agenda and develop a strategy to achieve the goal at hand. We create the program.

The top goal framework will help you fix this. Greg McKeown, who wrote a phenomenal book on productivity called Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less, boils this down to one key concept: Schedule two hours each day (i.e., put an event in your calendar) to work on your top goal only. And do this every single workday. Period.
