Tuesday's BOLD LAW "If it's not in your schedule, it does not exist" or, If we don't write it down, it's not happening!
Don't kid yourself. With all that's happening in the world today and the thousands of distractions we have every day, how can you possibly remember all of it? It's just easier if your day is scheduled out the night before (You'll sleep better).
The Big Rocks, and you know what they are, must be done first ! Put them into your schedule first ! Even if they may not be all fun ( that's why they call it W-O-R-K ). Don't say, "I'll get to it later" because you won't. You'll fill your day with "to - do's" that are easy to do and don't really drive any income to you.
Whether you manually write the Big Rocks down in an appointment book or electronically does not matter. Get it out of your brain and into a scheduler so that your subconscious mind can work on more important ideas rather than being burdened with a reminder of a task.
Then, what REALLY matters is that you must build the muscle or discipline to follow that schedule. It won't happen by itself ! Look at it through the day to keep you on point. Pretend that your schedule is your boss and it's telling you what to do and where to be.
None of us are perfect. It's been said that if you can follow your pre-determined schedule 80% of the time, you're winning! The winning begins with actually having a schedule and having the discipline to follow it!
Because.....If it's not in your schedule, it doesn't exist!
