Life is too small not to always look for exceptional thoughts and things.

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?
