First thing I do once I’ve checked into the workplace is to itemize what I’d like to get done today. And I list a bunch but they’re priorities and not requirements. So I have 8 on the list knowing I’ll only do 3 and then 5 will carry.

And I forgive myself if something comes up and it hoses my achievements. And I refer to it often as I get unfocused fast.

Keeps me on track.
