If you had to do just three things today, what would they be?
I’m not asking you to create a set of massive achievements. It could be just be:
- Making contact with an important prospect.
- Actually booking a promised job.
- Asking for an introduction.
The three most important things are often the ones that get overlooked.
How often do you get to the end of the day and say “Oh, I forgot to contact so and so?” I know I do! Because they are small, they get left behind in all the firefighting.
Here’s a way to solve this problem.
Write down the three things you plan to do.

I call this technique envelope planning.
