#2914: How I Structure My Day & Life
I often get asked, "How do you come up with content ideas?" Well, my trick is; whenever I hear the same question over and over, I make a piece of content to answer it once and for all. That way, I can just direct people to it. Now, for today's topic, inspired by a question in my coaching group: how I structure my day.
Join me and let's explore the subjects together!
Show Notes:
[04:49]#1 Here's the first principle that you must understand that everything goes on the calendar. This is the first piece of the structure.
[10:59]#2 Every repeatable everyday task is put in the calendar to be noted and checked off every day.
[17:49]#3 Teach anyone and everyone around you how the calendar works and operate by this process consistently, teach them how the calendar works, and operate by this process consistently.
