Stepping away from the urgent and making time for the bigger picture and long term goals.
What is the most effective daily habit you possess?
Always do the hardest and/or least fun things first each day.
What is the greatest advice you have ever been given?
My dad often asked me “will this (thing I am upset about or stressing over) matter in five years?” While I paused to think about the answer he would always add in “what about ten?” It always helped and still does!
