The daily monitoring sheet for creating the perfect day...

(Click on the title of this post to read the entire post.)

The old saying is "what gets measured gets done".  The compliance ratio on getting committed things done rises dramatically if a time is specifically entered to do it.

Accordingly, it makes sense to have a daily monitoring sheet that assures that one is doing that which makes one's day the best it can be - not because of random happenings from luck but from intentionally following the processes that lead to great results.  Jason Selk, of Enhanced Performance, Inc., points out that focus on the end results we want will not be nearly as effect as focusing on "process goals", which are decided processes that we know will work - and then we measure those.

How you start your day is the key to having a successful day.  And then the rest is an easy walk IF you stick to impulse free time zones.

A process that Selk recommends to start the day (or to center at any time) is the 100 second mental workout (video, 4:45).  (Read the side pieces on that page.)

I may cover some of Selk's work if there is a request for it (contact me).

Meanwhile, I've set up a "process monitoring sheet" to assure that I am locking in what I know I should do (but sometimes skip) and locking out what I know I can fall into if I am careless or "off focus" on creating my best life.  This takes virtually no time (it is attached with a clip to my planner pad book) but it is a "reflection" on the day, one that is specific and is a good measure of the day.

Daily Routine And Focus Monitoring Sheet

Consider doing something like that for yourself...

If you want me to discuss any of the line items, let me know (contact me).

I'll keep you posted on how things work based on this.
