'In' or 'on'.

A new day begins. Perhaps you have had a break over the weekend. I have and I loved it.

You can start the day with a befuddled mind, so much to do, where do I begin? With a list!

If we just plow into the day without a plan the demanding urgent will always be attended to whereas the necessary may be overlooked.

Keeping perspective in the day is most important, calling the shots yourself rather than the demands of others is imperative otherwise you will end the day as you started, befuddled and realise there are things you have not done.

The squeaky wheel gets the oil. What squeaks loudest in your world? I would hazard to guess the little, mundane things: the hot water not working; the refrigerator needing fixing; the car needing service; the kids wanting, wanting, wanting.

What about the business? Today is Monday. Will you work 'on' the business today or 'in' your business? If you start without a plan you will be drawn to work in the area that is least stressful to you by default. What is your default mode?

Get a list! Get a plan!
