  How can you make your day much more satisfying?

  Here’s a simple activity you can do it in two minutes to set the course of your day and make it a great one. Even on a crappy day filled with unexpected bad news, having a plan that includes a few bright spots can make a big difference.

  Here goes:

  • First, get two minutes. Really, don’t let yourself be interrupted for two whole minutes. This is better done in the morning before email or phone calls, and best done the night before.
  • Jot appointments. On a 3×5 card (or a small piece of paper measuring about 3×5 inches), write on the left side, all of your appointments and meetings with their start and end times.
  • Note goals. On the right side of the card, write all the things you plan to do that day. I suggest you use the goal format of verb and object so you know when you will be done each one.
  • Prioritize. This is the most important part of the processs. Next to each goal number it 1-3. 3 = Something I might do if I have extra time. 2 = Something I plan on doing today. 1 = Things that are really really important to do today, especially if it’s on your Week’s Plan.
  • Circle the one most important thing to do today to give yourself the best chance of making this day a good one.
  • Make appointments to do the 1′s.

  That's it, your plan is ready
