<v Speaker 1>the ground. We'll draw inspiration from some amazing people like

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:42.360

<v Speaker 1>I Heart Radio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get

0:01:56.520 --> 0:02:14.600
<v Speaker 1>your podcasts. Yeah, good morning, This is Laura. Welcome to

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:18.519
<v Speaker 1>the New Corner Office, the podcast where we share strategies

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 1>for thriving in the new world of work, where location

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:27.359
<v Speaker 1>and hours are more flexible than in the past. Today's

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:31.359
<v Speaker 1>tip is to establish a daily must win and then

0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 1>win at it. This exercise and prioritization can help us

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 1>feel like we're making progress no matter what life tosses

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:45.639
<v Speaker 1>our way. This tip comes from Ashley Willins, a professor

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.760
<v Speaker 1>at Harvard Business School and author of the recently released

0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:52.639
<v Speaker 1>book Time Smart, How to Reclaim Your Time and Live

0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:55.600
<v Speaker 1>a Happier life, which I've mentioned on this podcast before.

0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 1>In a recent webinar hosted by Pen's Behavior Change for

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Good initiative, will Ens listed focusing on a daily must

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.079
<v Speaker 1>win as one of her time use strategies to help

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:10.240
<v Speaker 1>people cope while working remotely. I think focusing on a

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>daily must win is a great way to give yourself

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:17.440
<v Speaker 1>purpose and direction. Long time listeners have heard me advise

0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:20.919
<v Speaker 1>to manage by task, not time, and to create short

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 1>to do lists of important things that you actually intend

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:28.400
<v Speaker 1>to do. Focusing on a daily must win keeps with

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:33.000
<v Speaker 1>this same spirit. You identify an immediate priority for the day.

0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.480
<v Speaker 1>What is the one thing you absolutely have to win

0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:39.840
<v Speaker 1>at for the day to be a success. That is

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 1>what you must do, and as a corollary, when you

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>do that thing, the day will have been a success.

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 1>It turns out that when we know what our top

0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:52.000
<v Speaker 1>priority is and our laser focused on it, we tend

0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 1>to get it done no matter what else comes along.

0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>To start winning at your must win, get in the

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 1>bit of actively designating the days must do. Look at

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 1>your list. If nothing else happened, what one thing would

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:13.120
<v Speaker 1>make the day feel like it wasn't a disaster? Or

0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 1>try this thought exercise. If you knew you would lose

0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.559
<v Speaker 1>power in an hour or your laptop would be taken

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:22.880
<v Speaker 1>away from you, what on your list would you choose

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:27.039
<v Speaker 1>to do first. Now, this priority may not seem grand

0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:31.160
<v Speaker 1>and important. It might seem absurdly small, like signing a

0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 1>contract or actually submitting something that is mostly put together,

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 1>but no matter, put a little star next to it

0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:42.279
<v Speaker 1>or bolded or otherwise make it stand out, and then

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:46.719
<v Speaker 1>do whatever it takes to make sure that this priority happens.

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:49.839
<v Speaker 1>Even if you aren't going to lose power or have

0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.800
<v Speaker 1>your laptop or phone taken away from you, it's a

0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:56.160
<v Speaker 1>good idea to tackle your must win item first thing

0:04:56.320 --> 0:05:00.200
<v Speaker 1>in the morning. That way, if unexpected things happen later,

0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:05.080
<v Speaker 1>you've already won at your daily must win. Or if

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:09.080
<v Speaker 1>you have unanticipated difficulties with handling your must do, you

0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:13.880
<v Speaker 1>have time to address the issue before the day is over. Now,

0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.279
<v Speaker 1>designating a must win doesn't mean that we have only

0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:20.560
<v Speaker 1>one thing on our plates. And I'm not suggesting that

0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:22.520
<v Speaker 1>you quit for the day and go out for drinks

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:24.960
<v Speaker 1>as soon as they must win item has been one.

0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:28.919
<v Speaker 1>But how often have we not completed something that really

0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.360
<v Speaker 1>does need to get done because we had another fire

0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:34.719
<v Speaker 1>to put out, or we encountered an obstacle like needing

0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:38.599
<v Speaker 1>someone else's approval, or maybe we've dropped the ball because

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:42.479
<v Speaker 1>we've just lost track of time and forgot. Designating a

0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:45.919
<v Speaker 1>must win and then committing to winning it means that

0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 1>fewer balls get dropped. You don't forget to submit that

0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.920
<v Speaker 1>huge proposal before the five pm deadline because someone catches

0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 1>a big error on another project. So today, start thinking

0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.640
<v Speaker 1>about your daily must win and what kind of schedule

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.600
<v Speaker 1>maneuverings would be required to make sure that you win it.

0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:09.839
<v Speaker 1>You'll probably find yourself getting more done and feeling a

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:14.559
<v Speaker 1>lot less stressed about it. In the meantime, this is Laura,
