Like most entrepreneurs, my days were once a scattered mess. Now they're productive.
For example, as I'm writing this, it's 5 p.m. and I have triumphantly crossed four things off my to-do list, taken two Zoom meetings, and grabbed lunch with a client-turned-acquaintance not to mention that I woke up when my alarm went off this morning (no snooze) and put on clothes with buttons (miraculous in a post-Covid world!).
How did I reach this braglevel state of achievement? Have I inhaled the teachings of Tim Ferriss and created a four-hour workweek? (I wish!) Maybe I meditated so hard that I became laser-focused? (Still working on that.) No, the truth is far more boring: I was able to accomplish so much today because of what I didn't do.
I have yet to log in to my email today.
