• More Present Evenings 

By taking the time to plan my next day the night before, I am able to decompress my mind before I go home. This allows me to be fully present and engaged in the evenings with my family. It also has improved the quality of my sleep.

•  More Peaceful Days 

Planning tomorrow today helps me feel more organized and in control. Without a plan, my days tend to feel more chaotic and even overwhelming.  By reviewing my calendar and identifying my HTPs (high priority tasks) in advance, I am able to launch into my day with confidence, clarity and calm.

• Higher Productivity 

Having a plan for my day helps me to stay focused and motivated. It gives me a clear vision of what I need to accomplish and helps me to prioritize my tasks. This results in higher levels of productivity and a sense of achievement at the end of the day. 

•  Fewer Distractions  

When I have a plan in place, it makes it much easier to identify distractions that will derail my focus.  Additionally, the low-priority distractions that do arise feel less tempting when I am able to compare them to the HPTs I have planned.

•  Temptation To Keep Working

Some days, I feel particularly productive and motivated. In these moments, it can be tempting to keep working and crossing items off my task list, rather than taking the time to debrief my day and create a plan for the next. The satisfaction of making progress can be alluring, making it difficult to shift my focus to planning. 

•  Feeling Exhausted

Some days I am physically and mentally drained at the end. The thought of dedicating the time and energy required to debrief my day and create a plan for the next can feel like a herculean task.
