If I don’t get done, well, there’s always Friday. #1 is totally up to the users.

Great post. Been reading you for a bit, but finally jumping in.

I run a few companies, teach yoga, write, blog, speak, am a dad and husband and…a recovering hedge-fund lawyer (10-years happy!).

I actually recently noticed that I average close to 30 e-mails received per 90-minute yoga class taught – yikers!

A few quick thoughts on the list:

One, a wildly busy author friend of mine, Karen Salmansohn, once told me “don’t create a to do list, create a to-be list and then prioritize the to-do’s around that. I’ve found, when I do that, a lot of the to-do’s tend to drop away.

Two, I noticed meditation was the last item on your list. I wonder what might happen to all the other items if you made it the first, rather than last thing you do every day. There’s a fair bit of research that shows that, over time, meditation can pretty dramatically enhance problem solving abilities, creativity, perception, productivity and just make things seem to go a lot easier. I actually teach meditation to execs who’ve always believed they couldn’t meditate to save their lives and, done right, the results can be pretty staggering.

So, that’s my two cents. Thanks so much for your wonderful post and blog!

Much peace,

Jonathan

Great topic — I’ve internalized some of my 7 Habits training and still begin my week with the weekly compass. It helps me identify my top priorities according to the roles in my life. This week it includes responses to 3 RFP’s!

Take care, Colette
