For each day – Take time every morning to determine the 3 most important actions for the day.
* Break To-Do lists down into a ‘doable’ list.
* Keep your list short – The shorter you keep it, the more focused you can be on the present.
* Focus on the present, not on a task that is far off in the future.
* Separate work, personal, and other tasks into categories.
* Be sure you are checking items off, daily.
