Polymath, scientist, Inventor, american great politician all these and many other descriptions are used to describe Benjamin Franklin. Did you know he had a schedule he followed daily and every hour including reading books during his lunch break just to make sure he is always a step ahead. Today am writing on the the 3 most important things to do before you start any week. This list is random and is personal so if you think there is something i have missed out kindly feel free to share.
a. CREATE A TO DO LIST
Creating an efficient to do list is not hard unless you have a problem with procrastination. This process will help you to feel prepared even before the real game starts. Make sure to arrange the list in accordance to time to make sure you are at the right time and right place. Remember:
> keep it simple
> be flexible
> everyday is a new day. Start fresh
b. PACK YOUR WEEKLY GEAR
After you have created your to do list. Have your weekly gear ready to help minimize time wastage when it comes to what to wear and what not to wear. If you are a Farmer like my father, you will have to make sure you know where your gumboots and cleaning tools are. This is one important part to help on deciding whether you will waste time or not. Take note of these and your week will be fast.
c. REFLECT ON YOUR PAST WEEK
Look back and note down things that worked, things that didn’t and things that made you smile. Nothing helps stay out of the “groundhog day” mode more than mindfulness. Taking your time and meditating on these will help improve the coming week with a bang.
This are my top three things I do every Sunday evening before I sleep to make sure am not just moving with the wind. Hope you enjoy and that they help you improve your weekly productivity.
