What does it take to make today a success?

“how can I make tomorrow a truly successful day?”

What would have to happen? And if I missed one of the items, how would it influence the rest of the day and my feeling about it?

Here’s what would be my list:

  • Wake at 5am, allowing me ample time to…
  • Drink water as soon as I wake (Health / Fitness)
  • Pray (Spirituality)
  • Plan my day (GTD)
  • Get out to the gym or for a run (Health / Fitness)
  • Have breakfast and catch up with the news (Health / Fitness)
  • Play with our daughter for 30 mins (family)
  • Go to the office and have a planning meeting with my team members (Planning / Task Management)
  • Do the most important task that moves our business forward (Business success)
  • Get to Inbox Zero (Business success)
  • Eat a slow, healthy lunch (Health / Fitness)
  • Call a friend (Relationships)
  • Read a book (personal)
  • Spend quality time with my wife (Relationships)
  • Practice the guitar / drawing (Learning)
  • Process all I collected today (GTD)
  • Go to bed at 10pm (Health / Fitness)

All this at be achieved in-between the regular, daily mundane tasks of work and personal life.

Can it be done? Is the list to long? What if I delete a task, how will it reflect on the rest of them? how will it make me feel?

Top UK webhosting companies for wordpress

Recently I’ve been doing some research across various reviews on the net to find the best UK companies that offer suitable webhosting for wordpress.
My client has been using 123-reg.co.uk for the past few months, and found his site to be extremely slow to load, and sometimes didn’t load at all resulting in a timeout error.

Here’s the final list:

  • http://www.uk2.net/web-hosting/
  • http://www.clook.co.uk/services/shared-hosting-uk/
  • http://www.tsohost.co.uk/hosting.php
  • http://www.evohosting.co.uk/hosting/starter
  • http://www.webhosting.uk.com/cpanel-hosting.php
  • http://www.uk-cheapest.co.uk/hosting.php
which would you choose?

Update: Went with tsohost.co.uk in the end, very happy so far with their hosting package…
