Time Management
" Use Plans to Focus Yourself, Not Test Yourself"

Planning out your week can help you navigate life gracefully — but overplanning your day-to-day tasks can make you neurotic and stressed.
The best way to reap the benefits of daily and weekly planning is to take a more relaxed approach, and to understand the role spontaneity should play in your plans.
Here’s how:

(1)    Be intentional but flexible.
Decide in advance where you want to end up, but accept that your route may change along the way.

(2)    Redefine a 100% score.
 For most people, a great day is when they accomplish 60–70% of their goals. Think about a “perfect” day as one where you made the best choices possible, not one where you finished everything.

(3)    Don’t think of your plans as a test.
 If your self-worth depends on how accurately you implement your plans, you’re on shaky ground. Life is meant to be lived, not just “done.”
