This isn’t the first time Charles has been helpful to me. So I am going to accomplish it and feel great and free for the evening. I completed a dozen other great things today (and have another dozen things still to do), but this was at the top of my list. Sure, I should have done it first, but an alligator bit me instead (you know what I mean). It is now 5:00pm but I am not leaving my desk until I am done with draft one. Refer to it all day as the litmus test: “Is what I am doing now moving me toward my goal?”įor example, today my goal was to write this blog post. Not three things, not something that sounds good…the ONE (usually hard) thing you want to get done. Here it is: At the top of your daily to do list or calendar, write down the ONE goal you really want to get accomplished today. Imagine my delight when Charles Duhigg, Pulitzer Prize winning author of the new book Smarter, Faster, Better: the Secrets of Being Productive in Life and Business gave me the best productivity tip of the month…so far. I never seem to get enough done: my “to do” list is always bigger than my “TA DA – it’s done!” list. Being the head of a productivity center, I am on a lifelong quest to increase my own productivity and happiness.
