Link of the day: "Scripting for success"

I frequently get derailed at the start of my day. I get worked up about cleaning my room or running some errands and pretty soon the whole morning is gone. The way to avoid this predicament is to "script" the first few actions of your day. Steve Ruble describes the idea of scripting in more detail. It comes from a strategy in football where coaches plan the first 10-15 plays of their offensive game. I should do this with my next action list. As Steve says, the hard part is sticking with the plan.
