“As we live our days, so we live our lives. Crafting the ultimate day means launching yourself toward a beautiful life that fulfills your dreams and goals.”

“Crafting your ultimate day begins with drawing a target so you know where to shoot your arrows. Those arrows are your time, your energy, your focus, maybe even your finances. Are they targeted? Do they have purpose? Do they bring you closer to your vision and mission?”

“Sleep needs to be respected for its power to improve your learning, creativity, productivity, problem solving, mental agility, mental health and quality of your personal and professional relationships.”

“Ask yourself every morning, “What is my intention for this day?” Have a little internal conversation with yourself about what you want the day to look like. What are your big goals? Is there a problem you want to solve? Is there a commitment you want to make and keep?”

“Creating the best four or five power work zones in your day for you is like putting the oxygen mask on yourself first so you can deliver and perform at the highest level. As a result, you can then take the best care of others: your team, your colleagues, your family, everyone in your life who matters.”

“Quality food is critical to achieve optimal brain function. To perform at your absolute best mentally – and to be uber healthy so that you can go after your passion and purpose – you need to eat as well as you can.”

“Taking breaks during the day keeps your energy level high. These are periods of recovery and regeneration. They keep your body loose and your mind nimble.”

“Start a meditation practice and reap the benefits: reduced stress, depression and anxiety. Greater self-awareness. Longer attention span and improved concentration. Age prevention. Increased kindness to ourselves and others.”

“Mark out time for team huddles, ideally at the beginning and end of each day. Scheduling team communication this way keeps your day open to accomplish everything on your priority list.”

“As you wind down your ultimate day here, consider the landing. If you think about the morning as your takeoff routine, I also think that it’s a great idea to have a landing routine. That’s the period of time between work and home life.”

“Defending the last hour before bed is the final step in setting your ultimate day and, as a result, your ultimate life. As your days go, so go your years. Realizing the vision you set for yourself requires putting in place the best daily practises for hitting all of your professional and personal goals, and this is one of them.”
