Recruitment Hack #1 - Prepare Tomorrow, Tonight
It is the end of a long and tiresome day. You just want to get out of the door, get home and open a cold one from the fridge. The temptation to just leave the office is great, almost unbearable, and writing that to-do list feels like a chore.
STOP RIGHT THERE!
Every evening you should prepare for your next day before leaving the office. This should be part of your end-of-play ritual.
Even 10 minutes of planning can save you hours the next day and ensure you can get started first thing before procrastination kicks in.
The real benefits of creating a to-do list every day are:
Clears your head at the end of the day of all the little things you need to do that you might forget by tomorrow.
Gives you your first task to do the next day meaning you have fewer decisions to make and get the ball rolling early.
Focus your work on a proactive mindset rather than a reactive state as you come into the office first thing.
Anthony Robbins the famed chisel-jawed self-help guru and author of Awaken the Giant Within said "Losers React, Leaders Anticipate" wise words.
