I find it helpful to plan out my week by giving each day a “theme” or “topic.”  This is a specific goal that I need to achieve, or work towards, on that day.  I know I have dozens of other tasks that have to be done, and I know that I may not finish that particular theme/goal/topic. But I will dedicate the largest share of that day to completing the item, and my mind will be focused on issues regarding that item. To do this, on SmartTime I simply create an All Day Event for each goal. That way, they appear separately in the ADE pane of my Week view, as shown below.
