NOTE: Weekly planning is perhaps one of the most important activities. Each week gives ample time to work both in your business and on your business. By owning your time, you can make significant strides each week to move your business forward. If you do this each week for 13 weeks, think about the progress you will make.

Daily – Take Focused Action

Every day is an opportunity to take steps forward in your ROCKs. Even if the steps are small, like taking ax swings to a large tree, eventually you can chop down huge trees with continual action. The key is to take action with consistent persistence.

  • Plan your day the day before by prioritizing most important actions (day planner)
  • Review your day plan in the morning
  • Put first things first, aim to get most important tasks completed early in the day
  • Review your progress at the end of the day
  • Ensure you are taking Ownership, Accountability and Responsibility for your actions

TIPS:

  • Journal Daily – Use your 90 Day Action Planner to Journal Daily to keep focus and ensure you’re making significant progress on your actions. The journal also guides you to analyze your day for achieving peak performance. Visit here for more info on the Action Planner or email me directly.
  • Schedule your time into 90-minute increments to get “in-the-zone” and take 10-15 minute breaks in between. This will give you an opportunity to see if you’re on track.
  • If you are having trouble with keeping to your schedule, use a day time log to track your time. Chances are you are letting minor efforts pull you off course and can use Prioritization, Delegation or Elimination to stay on track.
