It’s Sunday night. I’m still trying to complete items on my list from last Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. It would probably take a week, with no new inputs, to work through the backlog and feel “caught up.”

Has this ever happened to you?

And what’s wrong with this picture?

What’s wrong is there’s always more that could be done than there is time available.

That’s why it’s so important to do the highest priority work first. Not getting pulled off track with the the reminder emails pinging endlessly in a variety of inboxes. But focusing instead on the activities that will move your life forward. The actions that over time can make your dreams come true.

This gives a whole new perspective on today. I did the most important and highest priority work. And even if I stayed up all night, I wouldn’t complete everything I wanted to do today.

So it’s time to tidy up my desk, start to wind down, and enjoy the rest of the weekend with a good book.

Tomorrow is a new day.
