Do you sometimes feel exhausted just thinking about work? Are there days when you find it challenging to get started? I’ve got just the solution coming up!

You know that energized feeling you get when you and your work have become one? When you’re so sharply focused that your mind is clear and you are racing along?! Solutions to your challenges pop into your head! You are so brilliant you impress yourself! “Wow! Where did that come from?!” “I am goooood!”

Athletes have a name for it. They call it the “flow state.”

When you first start your business day, how long does it take you to get your brain clicked into a flow state? 30 minutes? After 2 cups of coffee? Middle of the afternoon??

Here’s an easy way to start every day fresh and alert. At the end of each day, just before you leave, use the last 15 minutes to plan the next day. Simply make tomorrow’s to do list today.

This will help you feel focused not burdened. You’ll feel strong not overwhelmed. You’ll feel peace not stress because you can safely leave work at work and go home to enjoy your other life. Of course, some of you are asking, “What other life?” We’ll talk about that another time!

This is Doug Smart with Smarter by the Minute. Make today a great day!
