We’re always looking for a better way to be more productive and to feel better about ourselves.
When I think about productivity, one person that jumps off the page is Ben Franklin.
He achieved so much in his lifetime without all the resources including the technology that we have today.
He was working on the same stuff that we are and what he figured out still applies today.
I love Ben’s daily focus on results.
He asked questions at the beginning and at the end of his day.
They’re simple, direct and upbeat and they help him to stay on track, to focus on what he wants to accomplish.
He begins each day asking, What good shall I do this day?
He establishes the result he’s looking for.
He ends each day asking, What good have I done today? Once again looking for the result.
The good, the positive, the accomplishment.
We all should give it a try. It’s a simple and effective way to focus on priorities and you’re guaranteed to improve your results.
