Schedule Early
Try to plan as far in advance as you can. It puts a
date on your calendar so you’re less likely to plan
two things on the same day. Also, the auto-pilot in
your brain starts to go into effect as soon as you
put that date onto your calendar so by the time you
get there you feel prepared.

Time Integrity
Treat your time as if it were money. Don't waste it.
Get
into the habit of disciplining yourself around time
integrity.

"White Space"
One of the ways to save yourself some stress is to
plan for white space.
White space means as soon as something leaves your
hand you have a moment to take a breath. That period
is good and healthy for you and your brain.

Set Boundaries
Once you get good at setting boundaries people start
getting used to them and will honour them. Allow
people to start to know what your boundaries are.
They won’t get upset and they will start to respect
you more because you’re so clear that this is your
value.

Plug the Drain
There are little habits, things we do everyday that
are unproductive and steal time from us. Plug that
drain and you’ll be amazed at how those minutes add
up. They’re not usually big things, they’re the
little things.

Big Rocks First
When making
a to-do list there are often some things that are
easy to do and some that are the big things you’ve
been thinking of most, which are the big rocks.
Tackle the big things first or else what often
happens is the big items keep getting pushed and may
never get done.
