This is a practice that’s been adding quite some value over the past couple of weeks for very simple and practical reasons.
Printing out the calendar helps ear mark appointments and also in a way track what I’ve been doing during the day.
The to-do list is invaluable. Helps me with my points system for the day as I put work tasks, personal tasks etc on it and plough through it during the day! Makes it more interactive and fun.
Additionally, the act of coming in the morning and setting up the to-do list and printing it gives a whole feeling of ‘I’m all set and ready to go’. Typically, I work on it the previous night and the morning just includes the fine edits.
If you do not have Einstein-esque smarts, being super organized is definitely a boon.. ;)
