Wow. My to-do list has been re-ordered. Items crossed out, items added, a sharper focus overall.
The secret? A half day of air travel yesterday. It was magical. I was strategic in what I brought and in what I knew I could accomplish.
In addition to my to-do list (which I must have or I am lost), I edited a client report and a proposal template, and reviewed some research questions ... I was on a roll.
