Take 5 minutes and write down your personal outcomes for today. Take 5 minutes and write down your professional outcomes for today. Then take 5 minutes and highlight the top 3 things from both lists. Congratulations, you now have a game-plan for where you should invest your time today. You'll be amazed at what you can achieve with a bit of focus and the power of clarity.
