Lots to do......

Monday morning and the start of a new week. This one happens to be the week before Passover and that comes with a whole set of challenges.
The first seder is one week from today and preparing for it takes time effort and planning. I still have my daily routines which must be attended to as well. On top of all of this, I will be filling in for the afternoon driver for a few days starting on Thursday.
20/20 hindsight, I did not set myself up for success as well as I could have. 
wuld have should have could have isn't going to help me right now. Right now my opportunity is to jot down all of the things which need my attention this week and begin prioritizing them.
One sure way to miss my target is to never take aim at it. Without a real list to work from, there is no way for me to plan.
My mentor Darren Hardy has taught me that this is not a to-do list. To-do lists are a waste of time. What he suggests is an action plan. Identify what you want to get done, set a specific order and time frame in which to accomplish it and get to work.
An agenda is much more deliberate than a to-do list which is nothing more than a glorified wishlist.
Once my agenda is set and things are put into specific measurable time slots to accomplish them in, it becomes Nike time! 
Time to just do it!
Procrastinate and time will evaporate.
What's the old saying if you snooze you lose!
I was invited by my daughter to have lunch with her today. My first reaction was I can't , I have too much to do  today. 
Instead I chose to add it to my calendar. Block out a specific period of time to attend to this and then move on to what is next on that calendar. 
It's a win/win!
So , now I am off to lunch.
And when that is done, I will move on to the next item on my agenda......filling out an agenda!
