Daily Plan of Action
Ahhh, this is where the “Focus Daily” part of the plan comes in.
My 3 Biggies
By writing your 3 priorities (yes, limit it to 3 or less!), you’ll increase the probability of getting them done, and your brain will keep them top of mind.
Appointments
Write in anything that is time specific here. Meetings, sales calls, lunch appointments …you get the picture.
To-Dos
This is where you write the rest of your tasks for that particular day. Don’t over schedule yourself! Plan ahead for the extra things/urgent items that always seem to creep into your day. A good rule of thumb is to only schedule 2/3 of your day. Allow the other 1/3 to be time to answer emails, return calls and handle last minute urgent request. At the end of each day, make adjustments as needed – transfer unfinished tasks to the day you do plan to get them done.
Today I’m Grateful For...
Ahhh, gratitude. Studies show that being grateful can improve our physical, mental and emotional health. It can reduce stress and increase mental strength. Take a few minutes a day to write what you’re grateful for!

Weekly Plan
Plan Weekly. Focus Daily.
This is where the rubber meets the road. Take time on a weekly basis (15-30 minutes) to get everything out of your brain and on to paper. “Poor handwriting is better than a good memory!” Doing this helps you see the “big picture” for the upcoming week, and allows you to prioritize and schedule your tasks and projects. Don’t write your entire to-do list on one page! Schedule your tasks and projects on the day you plan to do them.
