if you’re like me, by the time you roll into work on monday morning you’ve completely forgotten what you did on friday and what your goals were for the upcoming week. the last thing you want to do first thing on a monday is figure that out. help yourself! on friday afternoon, 15 minutes before you leave work, set your monday morning schedule. i use the calendar in my email program to lay out tasks for myself for the entire day but only commit to completing the ones i’ve set for the morning. on mondays when i get in to the office i don’t even have to think about what i’m supposed to be doing; i just pop open my calendar and follow my own lead. try it!

Marie, this is exactly what I do! It just really helps you plan your day/week out. I try to plan out my next week by Thursday evening or Friday afternoon using Oracle Calendar. 🙂
