Why Thursday is The Best Planning Day

Scott Smith - Motivation and Coaching
About this episode

Why Thursday is The Best Planning Day

I have a saying -

“Next year begins THIS year, next month begins THIS month, next week begins THIS week, and that happens on a Thursday.” 

If you want to stay on track, accomplish your goals, and enjoy life - you MUST take control of your calendar. 

It’s easier than you think:

1) Life will come at you FAST! Schedule any significant and can’t-miss life event at least one year in advance. Put it on the calendar and block it out. You can always change your mind. And do it on a Thursday.

2) Hold your space. Decide in advance what you will be doing next week. When will you work on projects? When will you see clients? When will you have fun? And do it on a Thursday.

3) Never end one week without locking in your schedule for the next - and stick to it. And do it on a Thursday?

Why Thursday?

Because it allows you to completely relax for the weekend by already knowing what the next week will bring.

The future is always brighter when your day-to-day focus fulfills your goals this week. Focus, my friend. Focus.
