“If you should visit a ship in port and ask the captain for his next port-of-call, he’ll tell you in a single sentence. Even though the captain cannot see his port, his destination, for full 99% of the voyage, he knows it’s there, and barring an unforeseen and highly unlikely catastrophe, he’ll reach it. All he has to do is keep doing certain things every day. If someone asked you for your next port-of-call, your goal, could you tell him? Is your goal clear and concise in your mind? Do you have it written down?”

- Earl Nightingale

“If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you.”

“Listen, your Perfect Week doesn’t begin Monday morning when your alarm goes off. It doesn’t even begin on Sunday night when you’re planning for the following day. It begins about 60-minutes after you wake up on Sunday morning. By blocking off the first 30-60 minutes of every Sunday and planning your week, either by yourself or with your spouse, you begin your week from a place of power and clarity. Your discipline, intention, and willpower are as high as they’re going to be all week and you are using this to your advantage by carefully crafting exactly how you want your week to unfold. By doing this in the morning, you’ll no longer stress about having to prepare for your week on Sunday evening after the kids have been put to bed and you’re exhausted from a busy weekend. You won’t forget to do it or decide that there are other more important priorities (like the GOT finale). When you implement a beautiful planning session, you’ll wake up every Monday morning knowing exactly what to do to dominate your days--and have a perfect week.”

“Work expands so as to fill the time available for completion.” In other words, if you have no bumpers, boundaries, or non-negotiables built into your life, you will always find more work to do to fill the void and vacuum. You’ll mire yourself in busy work and perfectionism out of a perverse need to appear “busy” without realizing that you are wasting your time--your most precious and finite resource--on activities that don’t do anything to drive your business or life forward. Even worse, when you don’t have clear boundaries between your work and life, they start to bleed into each other, preventing you from being fully present in either one. When you’re at work, you feel guilty that they haven’t spent more time with your family and when you’re with your family, you feel guilty because you haven’t accomplished enough work.”
