Yesterday I worked hard to have a perfect day. I set an ideal schedule the day before and did everything I could to follow it yesterday.
It went pretty well. The one issue I had was when Beck was at BYU teaching and I was home with the kids – sometimes their obedience, or lack there of, is a bit tough to handle and I got a little frustrated. But overall the day went really well.
What I realized today was that my “perfect day” schedule was only for Monday, Wednesday and Friday (sort of). So I need to make a map for my Tuesday/Thursday.
What I think will be better is to make a map for each day, maybe based on the schedule I already know that I have.
Maybe even a better strategy is to think about today, how it went, and then set my schedule for tomorrow and how I can make it a perfect day.
Anyway, here is my projections for tomorrow:
- Wake up at 5:40 a.m.
- Say a personal prayer
- Study the scriptures and journal
- Say a personal prayer again
- Go play basketball until 7:30ish
- Come home and shower/shave/get dressed
- Eat breakfast with the family
- Watch Mormon Messages
- Family prayer
- Send the kids to school
- Sales Time:
- Set sales goals for the month
- Work on 4 proposals
- Make 3 sales calls
- Send 5 sales emails
- Follow up with 5 proposals
- Management Time:
- Review status of current projects
- Make sure projects are moving as they should
- Process payroll
- Follow up with current clients to make sure things are good
- Lunch with BNI Presidency
- Work on proposals more
- Work on Karen Pool project (30 minutes)
- Work on BDT (30 minutes)
- Work on Utah Bravo (30 minutes)
- Invoice for all this work
- Webelos
- Go to Costco with Beck
- Get mail
- Dinner
- Play with kids
- Get kids ready for bed
- Review day
- Read from manual (30 minutes)
- Work on inventory
- Read with Becky
- AEIOUY’s
- Family Prayer
- Go to bed
So this is my day tomorrow. I feel writing this out is kind of doing Step 10, especially as I think about today and what I did, what I thought, what I felt and what I thought about.
One of the topics I wanted to study about was SUBMISSION, or being submissive.
Here are some scriptures that stuck out to me as I looked in the topical guide:
- Submit yourselves therefore to God: James 4:7
- learned is good if they hearken unto the counsels of God: 2 Ne. 9:29
- willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict: Mosiah 3:19
