1. Know What’s Important.
take time to identify the most important things in your life (4-5 things), and then see what activities, tasks, projects, meeting and commitments fit in with that list.

2. Visualize Your Perfect Day.
It’s different for each person.
Take a minute to visualize what it means to you.

3. Say No to Extra Commitments.
You need to start saying “No” to things that aren’t on your important list, and that are standing in the way of the perfect day.

4. Limit Tasks.
See if you can limit your list to 5-7 tasks per day (not counting little things, which you’ll batch).
Limiting your tasks helps you focus.

5. Carve Out Un-distraction Time.
Make this your most sacred appointment.
Become incommunicado.
Close the Internet, all notifications, hold all calls.
Just do the most important task.
Then the next one if you have time.

6. Slow Down.
We rush through our days.
Instead, slow down.
Life won’t collapse if you aren’t rushing from task to task.

7. Mindfully Single-task.
Stop multi-tasking.
One task at a time.
With full focus on that task.
Practice mindfulness as you do the task.
It’s a form of meditation.

8. Batch Smaller Tasks, Then Let go.
Email, paperwork, little things at the bottom of your task list, minor phone calls, etc. … these shouldn’t get in the way of your important tasks.
If you need to do them, batch them and do them in one go.

9. Create Space Between.
The space between things is just as important as the things themselves.
Leave a little space between meetings, even tasks.
Take a break to stretch, walk around, get a glass of water.
Enjoy the space.
