Schedule that which is most important to you.

Create to-do lists if you want to fail. Why? Because many of us end up kicking the proverbial can down the road.

I have some items that have been on to-do lists for years.

The best advice I ever received was to make my calendar my best friend. Block off time for everything that matters. BTW, your scheduled commitments are no one else’s damn business.

I schedule my days with the activities that are most valuable for me:

• Morning coffee and journaling.
