Daily Actions, Lasting Change

If you keep doing exactly what you’re doing, where will you be in one year? Where will you be in five, ten, or even twenty years? Ask yourself…

Is that where you want to be?

When asking myself these questions, I realized that the answer was (unfortunately) no. If I stayed on the same path, it would not lead me somewhere I love.

And that was a bit concerning.

If you can relate, don’t fret. I have some advice for you, so listen up.

The direction you’re going in life boils down to things you do daily.

So, organizing your daily actions would be the most logical thing to do, right? (The answer is yes).

Here’s how I do it:

1. Every Sunday, I write down in my notebook the things I have to do that week from most important to least important.

2. Based on these tasks, I make to-do lists for each day of the week on Notion (most important at the top, least important at the bottom).

3. I do these tasks on the days I assign them to.

Here is an example of what my list looks like today:

• Write and schedule newsletter

• Fix 4-year plan for meeting on Tuesday

• Work out

• Study for exam on Tuesday

• Send out LinkedIn messages

I’m writing and scheduling the newsletter first because that is the most important task for the day.

Sending out LinkedIn messages will be the last thing I do because it’s the least important task of the day.

I also use Google Calendar to organize my appointments, meetings, and events that have a specific timeframe.

It’s that simple.

Now I’m not saying to blindly follow this exact format.

Some people work better just using a calendar that time-blocks all their tasks. Others use a written planner.

The point is this: Find what works for you.

Organize your days in a way that puts you on the path to success…whatever success means to you.

If you already have a way of getting things done, try something different and see if you like it.

As always, I ask that you don’t just read this content and go on your merry way.

Try this stuff out, implement it, and see how it works (and then be on your merry way).

Keep making progress. Change for the better. Live the Heming-way.

See you next Monday,
