The Coaching

What’s the secret to working on the right thing?

Use a system that helps you to reflect more deeply, but less often.

For goodness’ sake don’t leave the question, “What should I do now?” to an in-the-moment instinct that gets yanked around by your emotions.

Set an annual goal and break it down to the quarter and month.

Plan your week according to your monthly priorities.

When you think, 'What should I be doing right now?' don't start reflecting.

If you have to spend energy thinking about your next strategic action, you'll likely skip to something easier and more immediately gratifying.

Don’t think.

Just pull up your pre-planned weekly actions, and get busy.


The Smile

The Habits

  1. Pause to remember what your big goals are (don't skip this!).
  2. Review your actions from last week (done? not done?).
  3. Decide what actions you'll take this week (specific and measurable).
  4. Schedule the work in your calendar (time blocking).


Now, you're set to win.
