I don’t know about you, but I am a person who likes “routines.” I like knowing what I will be doing each morning and a timeline to do it in. I realize this is not for everyone, but one thing I do know is when I am off of my routine in the morning my day is just not as productive.
Recently, when reading John Maxwell’s book, “The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership” I came across what Maxwell calls his “Navigation Strategy.” I though I would share this with you today and possibly if you are not a routine person, and feel you need to be more productive, this might inspire you to give it a try.
Also, if you haven’t read John Maxwell’s book, I highly recommend it.

Always point to the successes
Daily review your plan

Even though I am not working, I still plan ahead and have a to-do list even it is small and easy. (Also, so I won’t forget!)

You are so right lists and routines do help us not forget what we need to do 🙂
