Standards Shape Life More Than Goals

  • Goals alone don't change daily behavior and rarely transform your life by themselves.
  • Your life reflects the standards you tolerate, not the goals you set.

Put Priorities On Your Calendar

  • Schedule important actions on your calendar to show they are priorities.
  • Treat items for yourself with the same importance you give to others' appointments.
