But is Your Goal on Your Calendar?

You've got your goals and figured out at least your initial strategy for achieving them.

Are they on your calendar? Every morning, I have a two-minute warning (read: an alarm on my phone) that reminds me to get a fresh cup of Joe and get my butt in the chair. This ritual, now a decade old, has me trained like Pavlov's dog. Alarm! Coffee! Write.

If it wasn't on the calendar and the alarm wasn't set and my documents weren't open and ready to go, oh how tempted to not write I would be.

Set your alarm, customize it to your schedule (Monday through Friday? Saturday? Also Sunday?). Set up that automatic coffee maker. Leave your WIP (work-in-progress) ready to roll.

See you in the morning.
