Plan Your Day
Ideally your day is planned a day ahead or more. As your life gets busier with important meetings, ceremonies or events, you may even start booking yourself a year or two in advance.
You may be part of a year-long concert tour starting eight months from now, or you might have tickets to the Olympics in 16 months. Regardless, you should be booking in the key events you want in your life.
You also benefit from blocking time with key tasks for tomorrow. What time will you wake up? Get out of bed? Eat breakfast? Get in your shower, get dressed, get to your work desk and start working
Note the priorities of the day and how much time each task will take. Make it a competition to see if you can complete a task in the time you allocated.
Once your day ahead is planned, you need to keep the plan close by and execute on your plan. Try not to let meetings over-run or too many distractions creep in. Remember, this plan is to achieve your priorities, not get distracted responding to other people’s priorities.
Stay focused. Move swiftly. Speak only when necessary. Keep interactions short but effective.

Plan Your Day
Plan your day the night before. Block time in your diary for all the essential things you must do tomorrow. From wake up, to shower and dress, eat three times, and two must-do essential things, block the times when you’ll be doing these things. Be realistic with the timing too.
Get better at selecting one or two essential items to prioritise and get better at estimating the time and other resources required for success.
Then you’ll be on the road to winning!

Enjoy A Lazy Day
Everyone could use a lazy day once in a while. The day could be to stay in your pajama’s, or read books, watch sports on TV, etc
This is not every Saturday, but 1-3 times per year. Throwing a whole day can be very regenerative.

Know When To Call It A Day
We can try to fill every day and every minute to feel we’ve used our time wisely.
We can also have breaks and moments to relax and still feel we’ve done amazing and filled our day.
Pushing past the point of peak enjoyment is rarely beneficial. If you aren’t enjoying a movie, leave the theatre or shut it off. If you’re done eating, yet there is still more on your plate, you can just stop.
This goes for holidays too. You don’t have to see everything anyone ever said was worth seeing.

Attack The Day
Get up and get moving. Don’t think. Do.
Don’t gently roll around the house from room to room like you have eternity. Move with purpose. Get a task done quickly. Then do another. Get some momentum going. If you do three quick things, enjoy the feeling of achievement.
Then do something that takes a bit longer. Stay focused. Don’t get distracted. Finish the job. Celebrate ????.
Then go for another thing. Build your habit of seeking critical things to do and then do them.

Take A Day Off
Boxing Day is a good day to take off. Do something different or nothing at all. Don’t do any should’s or secondary interesting things. I wouldn’t just fill time doing nonsense, unless it’s part of what brings you joy or can be done to just to help you actually relax.

The Power Of One Day
Spoiler alert‼️ Life ends.
For some people it’s quietly, alone in their sleep. For other people it may be more sudden, severe or unexpected.
However it happens, and whenever the buzzer goes, it is usually preceded by a fight for survival. We have an inborn desire to survive. And yes, we will automatically go into fight, flight or freeze mode, but if there is time, many of us will choose fight in order to survive.
While fighting will be in our own way, we will fight for time with our loved ones and to see another day.
The power of one more day can be immense.
Check out this powerful and moving 20 second reel by Ed and you’ll understand this even better.

Sometimes You Need A Day Off
It’s ok to have a complete nothing day. You don’t have to plan for it. You can simply have one. Maybe even two.
I wouldn’t go for three in a row though.
Enjoy.

We do a lot for work, our families, spouse, kids and parents and also friends and community.
However, do you do enough for you?
Get into the habit of taking 1 full day for you every 6 months. It’s essential.
