“What’s the best use of my time?”

Are you prepared to answer that question?

Most people aren’t.

Most open their laptops, dive into the workday, and the next thing you know, it’s 5:30 pm.

Sound familiar?

If it does, you likely judge success by the number of tasks you complete.

You think, “I must have had a productive day because lots of emails got answered, I attended a bunch of meetings, and my to-do list is complete.”

All that activity is useless if you didn’t make progress towards your most important goals.  

And this progress is impossible without a clear understanding of how to use your time most effectively.

Stop confusing activity with achievement.

Ask yourself, “What’s the one thing I need to do today to move toward my goal?”
