Have a vision of your future. Have three if you find it hard to decide. Then make progress on your vision (s) every day.

Be Early.
Practice getting up early and leaving home early so you can also practice arriving early. Get documents sorted early and your taxes. Make your millions early too! That way you should have lots of time to spend it too.
Do First Things First
When you need to finish something, get it done first. Do not delay. Do not do other easier things first. Take a deep breath, open the tougher, longer, most important item and get that done. You’ll feel better after (maybe not initially) and you can then speed through the other items.
Energy Over Time
People talk about making time, having time, scheduling, etc. But the one thing that may trump time is energy. You may have the energy but not the time, which is one thing. Though, even if you book the time, you may not be able to use it effectively if you don’t have enough energy.
As we age from 20 to 90, each day will have 24 hours and each year 365/6 days. However, most people do not have the energy at 55 that they had at 25. Certainly most won’t have the energy at 80 that they had at 30.
So use your young energy wisely. Do things you want early on in life. Don’t store up high energy activities until later in your years. You may have the time and the money but not the energy. You’ve been warned.
Ageing
It’s usually better than the alternative. So get out there and live it up!
Stay With It
Tough times will come and go. The key is to stay with it over time
Natural Decline
Everything gets there towards the end, or even throughout its existence. People are no different. We decline with time. Our physical limits go as well as our mental faculties.
It is not easy to watch or experience. But it happens. Prepare for it in advance. And bring your humour with you.
Work Swiftly
When you have work to do, work swiftly. Stay focused on the task at hand and get things done quickly. It’s efficient and you’ll feel better about getting it down without dilly-dallying.
Reminisce Fondly
Remember your past. Appreciate it. Do this often. This great feeling is very important to have throughout your life.
