The productivity experts say that one hour of planning is equal to four hours of productivity. Take time every day to plan what you are going to do that day to move closer to your primary goals. This will accelerate your accomplishments.

Pick at least five daily habits that you know will make a difference for you in the short and long term. My top recommendations for daily personal habits are: taking a multivitamin, engaging in at least 30 minutes of cardio or walking, drinking plenty of water, getting a good night’s sleep, and, as we have already stated, reviewing your goals and making time for planning.

What’s your scorecard for these habits? How many days each week do you actually perform the activity? Start now to achieve your goals one good habit at a time!
