KEY POINTS
Prioritize Your Day – End your day prioritizing what you’re going to do the next day. Make it an appointment with yourself daily. Reflect on what happened today, update your to-do-list, and decide on the top three things that need to be achieved tomorrow. 

Set Clear Goals – Having clear goals and achieving them makes us feel more fulfilled. Check in with your goals on a daily basis. What are they? Why am I doing them? Why are they important to me? What could I work on today that would help with my goal achievement?  

Schedule Time to Rejuvenate And Recover – You cannot rev your engine at the highest level throughout the day every day. Eventually you’re going to burn out, be overwhelmed and create greater levels of anxiety for yourself. Schedule breaks throughout you day for downtime and set an end time to your workday.

Have Gratitude for What You Have – Too often we think about the things we don’t have. Take a moment each day to think about what you do have. What are your big wins? What is going well?

Learn to Say No! – Your time is a precious commodity; you can’t do everything. If somebody is making a request on your time, have the confidence to say, ‘I need to prioritize these other things in my work or in my life right now.’

Have Fun! – What is it that you enjoy doing? Schedule downtime into your week. Do some hobbies, watch your favourite movie. Just make sure you have fun!

Spend More Time with Loved Ones – If you’re not spending enough time with the people that matter most to you, it’s going to feel like your life has an imbalance. Schedule it into your week.
