productivity. Anyone you know who gets little sleep and appears to be
doing great is either a freak of nature or hiding its effects from you.
Either way, they aren’t your role model. Protect your sleep by
determining when you must go to bed each night and don’t allow
yourself to be lured away from it. If you’re committed to your wake-
up time, you can stay up late only so many nights before you’re
forced to hit the hay at a decent hour. If your response is that you
have too much to do, stop right now, go back to the beginning of this
book, and start over. You apparently missed something. When you’ve
connected proper sleep with success, you’ll have a good enough
reason to get up and you’ll go to sleep at the right time.
THE HIGHLY PRODUCTIVE PERSON’S DAILY
ENERGY PLAN
1 . Meditate and pray for spiritual energy.
2 . Eat right, exercise, and sleep sufficiently for physical energy.
3 . Hug, kiss, and laugh with loved ones for emotional energy.
4 . Set goals, plan, and calendar for mental energy.
5 . Time block your ONE Thing for business energy.Here’s the productivity secret of this plan: when you spend the
early hours energizing yourself, you get pulled through the rest of the
day with little additional effort. You’re not focused on having a
perfect day all day, but on having an energized start to each day. If
you can have a highly productive day until noon, the rest of the day
falls easily into place. That’s positive energy creating positive
momentum. Structuring the early hours of each day is the simplest
way to extraordinary results.
