I like the general idea as I've been grappling with it, though I tend to approach it differently. I like to introduce one or two new habits or areas to focus on, do it for 2-4 weeks until I've got it down to a rhythm that can be done quickly without excess thinking about it, and then add new objectives.
I do think on what my top three outcomes for a week should be at the start of the week, and choose which of them needs to be worked on the next day, and then start the day putting 2-5 hours into that or until it's complete. At least, that's the theory, sometimes I "check just one thing" before heading on to most key stuff and then too often the entire day gets hosed. But when I start with most key objective or two, the day almost always goes well. Then I've got a list of general stuff I fill into the day - situps, vitamins, some deep breathing, very short meditating on my death bushido-style, respond to emails, write a letter to someone I'm out of touch, handle admin - I can fill that stuff around the edges whenever I can steal 5-10 minutes from my day. If I start with the most key, difficult objectives first the rest of the day tends to fall into line.
