I sit down, I look at my schedule for the week ahead, and I ask myself, does this schedule reflect my values? Values are attributes of the person you want to become. So there's three life domains, you, your relationships, and finally, your work. So what you got to do is you look at your calendar for the week ahead, and you ask yourself, how would the person I want to become spend time taking care of themselves? Is prayer important to you? Is meditation? Is video games? Great. Whatever's important to you according to your values, put it in your schedule. Then you're going to put your relationships in. Don't let the relationships in your life get whatever scraps of time are left over. Put time in your schedule for your significant other, for your kids, for your buddies. Then finally, the work domain involves two kinds of work. Reactive work, reacting to notifications, reacting to emails, reacting to taps on the shoulder from your colleagues. Don't let that be your entire day. What you want to do instead is to book time in your schedule for this reflective work time. You do the kind of work that requires you to work without distraction. Then you can look at your calendar and say, ah, whatever it is I plan to do, that's traction. Everything else is distraction.
