Relearning how to Plan Your Day

Jack Canfield knows a thing or two about self-improvement.

He gained notoriety by launching the New York Time’s top-selling book, “Chicken Soup for the Soul.” While the book was intended to touch your heart more than touchup your inner-workings, Canfield began to assert himself in the self-improvement realm with this foray. He then founded Self Esteem Seminars, which trains entrepreneurs, educators, corporate leaders and employees on how to accelerate the achievement of their personal and professional goals.

In this particular video, Canfield touches on topics relating to planning a productive day. Too often, you’re stuck responding to the needs and requests of others. While there is certainly a time and a place for this, if you’re expecting productivity, you’ll be surprised at how unproductive you are if you’re tending to others. And having no plan – which is a cardinal sin in itself – will result in an uncanny lack of productivity.

When you’re mapping a schedule, include start times and expected finish times to maximize your day.
