Making it work for you
- The best way to find a place where you feel comfortable to apply “Done For The Day” successfully in your life is to schedule your life as follows:
- Set a time aside each day when you will stop working. The time you choose is unique to you, I choose 20H00 each day.
- At around 19H40 I review my day and Asses my performance and outcomes for that day.
- This takes about 5 minutes.
- Any tasks that I was unable to complete that day. I place onto my dairy as first priorities for the next morning.
- I then spend 15 minutes planning for the next day. I include as much information in this process as possible.
- For example if I need to make a telephone call, I ensure that I include the telephone number etc.
- I then feel comfortable that everything is taken care of and I switch off from work mode and move into rest and recharge mode.
- I have given myself permission to stop working at a specific time each day.
- This has allowed me to completely rest and recharge my batteries, without feeling guilty that I am not working.
- I have also become far more effective when I work, because I am totally rested each morning.
- I also feel totally focused on my work and get an incredible amount done each day.
