CREATE YOUR DAILY PERSONAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY SCHEDULE
There are seven disciplines you must develop if you want to achieve all that is possible for you. You can learn these disciplines through practice and repetition until they become automatic.
1. Daily goal setting: Every morning, take three to five minutes to write out your top ten goals in the present tense.
2. Daily planning and organizing: Take a few minutes, preferably the night before, to plan out every activity of the coming day.
3. Daily priority setting: The essence of all time management, personal management, and life management is contained in your ability to set the proper priorities on the use of your time.
4. Daily concentration on your highest-value activities: Your ability to work single-mindedly on your most important task will contribute as much to your success as any other discipline you can develop.
5. Daily exercise and proper nutrition: Your health is more important than anything else. By disciplining yourself to exercise regularly and to eat carefully, you will promote the highest possible levels of health and fitness throughout your life.
6. Daily learning and growth: Your mind is like a muscle. If you don't use it, you lose it. Continuous learning is the minimum requirement for success in any field.
7. Daily time for the important people in your life: Relationships are everything. Be sure that in climbing the ladder of success, you do not find it leaning against the wrong building. Build time for your relationships into every day, no matter how busy you get.
These seven disciplines will ensure that you perform at the highest level and get the greatest satisfaction and results from everything you do.
