LifeHacker asks the question, “How does your daily routine compare with Ben Franklin’s?” You remember, the author of “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” Apparently, at least in print, his daily schedule involved rising at 5AM, in order to address himself to “Powerful Goodness” and prepare for the day, by, among other things, asking, “What good shall I do this day?” The day ends, at a reasonable time, with Franklin asking, “What good have I done today?” Notice, in this listing of his daily routine, he gets about 7 hours sleep. But no one accused Ben Franklin of being a slacker.
What questions do you put in your schedule, to keep you on track? What daily activities/reflection/disciplines keep you focused on your most important goals for the day? Do you use ClearSync to keep your appointments, or to remind you to reflect on your day and purpose good in it? Or do you do that automatically? Or not at all? Perhaps a daily repeating untimed event could show up, “Remember to reflect on my day and be grateful for small things.”
