My last exercise for the day is to plan for the next day. I spend 5-10 minutes every day before closing my laptop to list down my activities for the following day and prioritize them. Before I start the day, I review the “to-do” list for another 5-10 minutes to ensure that my priorities are not changed or the activity list is still current. During this time, I also go through my emails to better understand of changes, if any. My to-do list also includes the list of meetings and an indicator for my preparedness for that meeting. As a project manager, my first activity for the days is to review my tasks and (re)prioritize them.
