Jack Dorsey and the Themed Day

At one point, entrepreneur Jack Dorsey was the full-time CEO of both Square and Twitter, with two 8-hour “shifts” each day. So how did he do it? He had themed days. From Buffer:



Jack’s trick in staying productive while putting in such long hours is to theme his days. Each weekday is dedicated to a particular area of the business at both companies. Here’s what his themed week looks like:


Monday: Management and running the company

Tuesday: Product

Wednesday: Marketing and communications, growth

Thursday: Developers and partnerships

Friday: Company culture and recruiting



See more routines from entrepreneurs over on Buffer’s blog. While we’re likely not running two fast-growing tech companies, there’s benefits for all of us in focusing on a single task.
