EVERIES REMINDER 15, DAILY PAPERWORK

Getting down to business now, let’s look at routine paperwork. Track your activities 3 times daily, starting with...

Dawn Planning
Diarise all of the day’s planned activities according to your Weekly Plan – which came from your Monthly Plan, which in turn came from your Quarterly Plan, remember? You are sticking to those, right?

Add any necessary actions called for from:

• phone messages
• emails
• snail mail
• fridge notes, etc.

Be realistic about this diarising. It’s not a to-do list (which we’ll cover later). Be honest with yourself – and others -- about how long tasks could take, or whether you are even likely to get to them. Input your own plans first, fitted between true obligations. Sprinkle in fun stuff for incentive & regeneration. Move activities around to the best day-and-time slots to give yourself a good chance of accomplishing what you set out to do. Then do what you've written.

You’ll be amazed how much you can fit into a day if you strike a good balance of pressure and pleasure :-)

Groove in Dawn Planning every day so you’re ready for the 2nd piece of Daily Paperwork coming up in the next post.

If mornings are frantic,
get into the habit of doing Dawn Planning the night before.
