Daily Work Journal

A tool for planning and measuring your professional work

Your work journal is a tool that can help you evaluate your day’s work, plan your day’s work, or both.

Your Journal Covers Three Categories

  • People
  • Projects
  • Productivity

People

With whom will you have a meaningful conversation today?

Productivity

What tasks will you complete today?

Planning or Evaluating?

  • Use future tense verbs for planning (what you will do).
  • Use past tense verbs for evaluation (what you did do).

The Three Categories Go with Leadership

  • People = Relational Leadership
  • Projects = Conceptual Leadership
  • Productivity = Technical Leadership

Three Types of Leadership Skills

  • Technical = working with stuff
  • Relational = working with people
  • Conceptual = working with ideas

When evaluating your journal, remember that "technical" leadership success gets your first promotions, but "relational" and "conceptual" leadership problems prevent future promotions.

Your work journal also tracks your leadership development.

Over time, you want to see more conceptual and relational work than technical work in your journal.

Because working with "people" and "projects" is the real "productivity" of leadership.
