Maximize

the 5 Most

Important

Minutes of

Your Day

Tonya Dalton, author of

The Joy of Missing Out, shares

her five-minute end-of-day

routine, which can double your

productivity and happiness.

MINUTE ONE

Reflect on the day’s accomplishments.

At the end of the day, it can be hard to

think of the big picture of the good we’ve

done, so taking time daily to reflect

makes a huge difference.

MINUTE TWO

Focus on evaluating your day. Did you

put too much on your plate? How was

your stress? Attitude? Focus? If you

consistently score high on stress and low

on attitude, make some adjustments.

MINUTE THREE

Assess what you did to move

closer to accomplishing your goals.

A little progress each day matters.

MINUTE FOUR

It’s all about gratitude. Find three things

you are grateful for. The trick is, they

need to be specific to that day.

MINUTE FIVE

Set up your dominoes. Write down a

few notes about tomorrow’s action

items — the important tasks you would

like to focus on in the day to come.

However, you aren’t planning tomorrow;

you are simply giving yourself

guidance on what to work on next.
