“You end Monday feeling like you’re already behind in the week. So I think you’re ruining yourself before you even got started. If you can plan the week ahead on Friday, you can rest easy on the weekend and enjoy your weekend more because you know what to focus on come Monday. You have all your ducks in a row. Come Monday morning, you can hit the ground running and you feel like you accomplish more on Monday than you usually do in an entire week.”
Steve Perkins of Greenhouse Coaching joins us for a conversation about staying focused on what matters in your business. He brings lots of practical tips including his Trello Productivity System.
