Plan your day before it plans you, well you know what I mean. Check out my Daily Focus Planner to set your day up for success. By focusing on 3 must do items to complete and adding 3 could do tasks,  when you look back at the end of the day you will feel more productive and motivated as your three most important tasks are accomplished. There's room to brain dump as well (we all need this space), and list a major project you are working on, this can be work related or personal and remember projects are just a fancy word for your overarching goal.
