Episode Synopsis

Every day, I wake up with a clear purpose and put together a plan. This is not a sporadic effort; it's a commitment I uphold seven days a week. Some might wonder, why plan so diligently when I'm technically semi-retired or in retirement mode? The truth is, when you come from a background steeped in AI, IoT, software, and sales, there's no such thing as truly stopping. So, for me, having a plan is essential.
The format doesn't matter: it could be scribbled on a piece of paper, neatly organized on your laptop or desktop, outlined in a spreadsheet, or condensed into key points on a flash card. What matters is that you're prepared each morning to tackle the day's challenges head-on.
In my case, my daily plan encompasses a wide range of responsibilities. I'm deeply involved in the local art scene, from participating in art shows and events to creating and selling my own artwork. I'm also a local podcast host, involved in every step from scripting and recording to editing and production. I'm constantly working on a new website to showcase my paintings, managing domains and site design, and ensuring I have all the necessary supplies for my creative endeavors. On top of that, I find time to write blogs, maintain an active presence on various social media platforms, and offer coaching to individuals striving for success in sales and their careers.
As you can see, my schedule is packed seven days a week. Having a daily plan is not just beneficial; it's everything. I wholeheartedly recommend that you do the same. Create a daily checklist and plan, prioritizing the most challenging tasks at the beginning of the day. Strive to complete all your tasks, and don't forget to revise and update your plans regularly.
Sure, I love to take breaks too, especially my daily walks, which my daughter and son encourage me to do. Walking over 6 miles a day keeps me balanced and in my lane. But even with breaks, maintaining a structured plan helps me stay on track and accomplish my goals.
So, do you need a daily plan? Absolutely. Do it, stay focused, stay energized, and follow your steps to get your work done. And remember, amid all the hard work, don't forget to have a little fun. May you all lead wonderful lives and always feel the warmth of the sun upon you.
