Preparation should follow planning

Don’t just jot down some to-do items, but actually imagine working on them: What will be the complications, where will you have gaps in your schedule that need filling, what will you need to focus on etc. Doing this planning first thing in the morning can be a good way to prime your day for succe...

Intentional planning helps us achieve our goals and reduce anxiety. Follow the 4-step STAR method:

• S- Strategy: Review your upcoming goals.
• T-Tasks: Clarify and identify what tasks are to be done to achieve those goals, and prioritize them.

Successful people often make a to-do list or schedule their tasks for the day, either the night before or in the morning. This helps them stay organized, prioritize their tasks, and avoid wasting time on trivial matters.

"Plans are nothing; planning is everything." - Dwight D. Eisenhower.
