- If you have a tendency to put off your morning workout, then try placing your workout gear next to your bed for you to get into as soon as you arise.
- At work spend the first 30 minutes on a project that needs attention rather than reading emails and taking phone calls.

This week I invite you to do the following:
1. Take a minute to think about something you said you'd do yesterday but still haven't done.
2. How would it benefit you to create a plan that establishes an effective habit or routine in order to stay on task?
3. Set one short-term goal toward accomplishing a long-term goal.
