Your Best Day


Did you enjoy your day off?  Starting the week on Tuesday can be challenging if that means you have a full Monday’s worth of work to do on top of your Tuesday portion. 
And if you are anything like me, it takes me a little more time to get back into the swing of my work routine after a day off. 

So how do you organize your day when your to do list is longer than your hours in the day?

Everyday you should order your day by priority not urgency.  Think through what you want to accomplish long term.  What are your business goals? Do the things first that directly work towards those goals. 

Write out your “have to do’s” and assign them a time slot.  Then fill in the rest of the day.  At the bottom of your list you can put things that you’d like to accomplish if time permits. 

Of course we all have days when the urgent takes over and that is all we get done.  But when you work at prioritizing you are much more likely to also achieve forward progress towards your business goals.

If you don’t know how to set goals, spend some time with a mentor and ask how they set goals.  If you don’t have a mentor, find someone at work whom you admire and ask them if they would be your mentor.  They will most likely be honored.  If not then you don’t want them to be your mentor anyway.

So tomorrow get up and have more purpose in the way your day is structured. 

Still learning,

Honey
