We all know the importance of starting our day by eating a healthy breakfast; a proper breakfast provides your body with the fuel it needs to function well after the nights fast. Its just as important to start your work day right by starting with a daily planning session; it will provide you with the fuel you need to make the most out of your business day. Daily Planning Doesnt Take Long A daily planning session of just 20 to 30 minutes will let you focus on your business goals and energize yourself for the day ahead. And spending this time organizing yourself at the start of the day will save you time during the day. The Purpose of The Daily Planning Session Your daily planning session is your chance to: Getting your day organized and knowing that youre focused on achieving the business goals you have set for yourself will give you that Ive-gotten-out-of-bed-on-the-right- side feeling. Add Some Inspiration To pack even more punch to your daily planning session, include an inspirational moment in each session. For instance, I like to read and reflect on an inspirational quote from a successful person each day. It gives me positive motivation for my day ahead. What inspires you? Some people like to look at a cartoon or artwork, read a short religious passage, or listen to a musical selection. Daily Planning Tips Your daily planning session needs to be uninterrupted. Do not take phone calls during this time, or do your business planning in a place that other people are wandering through. When youre setting your daily agenda, slot your most demanding tasks into your most productive working time(s). For example, if youre a morning person, schedule whatever creative tasks you need to accomplish into the morning rather than into the late afternoon when your mental energy is low. A quick way to prioritize is to highlight the three or four most important tasks of the day. Its not necessary to obsessively order tasks to get a sense of whats most important that day. Resist the temptation to grade yourself on your performance of your daily agenda. If you dont accomplish all the tasks youve listed for that day, that doesnt mean youve failed. It just means you didnt accomplish everything on your list.
