pro's bookending - Monday 7th August 2006

I just got out of bed. I slept until 10am!! I can't believe it. It's late. I hadn't been sleeping enough the past week - going to bed late and getting up early. I guess my body thought "enough of that!"

I reviewed my Personal Mission Statement (my goals in life), looked over my to-do list and picked out the highest priority items (given my goals in life), figured out how long I had to work (what time is it now, what time do I want to stop), then gave each task a time slot. What a concept! This to-do list is do-able in this work day. If I accomplish what's on this list, then I can feel very good.

And now that I've completed my morning routine, I can check my email!

Usually when I get up at 10am, I'm not ready to start work until 3pm. I get discouraged because it's late so I dawdle more. Sticking to my morning routine is working well for me.

Morning routine is in the to-do list. After I do that, I'll make a new to-do list.
