What I am going to do is define what I would need to have done in order to consider tomorrow (Monday) to be a productive day. I will be using FVP as my time management system.
I am going to use my list as it is - which has most of the tasks on it already. I’m not going to cheat by moving them all to the end of the list.
I’ll report back on how many of the tasks I succeed in doing.
So here goes - I would consider tomorrow to be a productive day if:
I have zero inbox at the end of the day in
Email
Paper
Evernote Inbox

I have walked at least four miles [5.17 miles]
I have done 100 press ups
I have done The Plank exercise for at least 90 seconds [110 seconds - ai yai yai!]
I have sold our unused car for scrap [got £60!]
I have, as Press Officer, edited the photos for yesterday’s Croquet Tournament, Friday’s Golf Tournament and last week’s Golf Club Dinner.
