1. Purposeful intention
2. Prioritize your MVP’s (Most Valuable Priorities)
3. Predetermine your outcome
4. Protect your time
5. Be present in all that you do

Never start your week unless it is written on paper first. Either you’re running your days, or your days are running you. The most successful people live in the now. Zero in on what you need to accomplish and do it.
