  • Dan Sullivan (The Strategic Coach) teaches us about three types of days:

     
     
    •     Focus day:  A day when 65-85 percent of your time is spent during your work day doing activities that generate income.
     
    • Buffer day:  This is a day where the majority of your time is spent handling the "behind the scenes" or administrative functions necessary to support your income-generating activities.
     
    • Free day:  This is a full 24-hour period during which you do NO work or work-related activities, including checking voice mail or email.

  • 1. In order to plan an activity, I consciously think about WHY I am doing it.
      Here are some questions that I ask myself:

     
      
    • Is this activity moving me towards or away from my core goals for the year?
     
    • Will this activity generate income?
     
    • Is this activity a necessary part of supporting my core activities?
     
    • If this is a support activity, is it something I can delegate to someone else so I can have more free or focus time?
