What work-related issues keep you awake at night? What would make you feel better about this?

If you could save one hour a day (x 240 workdays/year) by getting more organized and managing your time better, what would that be worth to you and/or your employer? What would that enable you to do that you are not doing now?

What is one area of your life -- that if you focused on over the next three months -- would make a huge positive difference in the quality of your life? Describe some measurable outcomes you desire. Then imagine that you have already accomplished these outcomes and describe what this would do for you. Using the format below, identify your focus area.

I have realistic goals for new projects.
I have dinner with my family at least three times a week.
I do weekly planning for my personal and professional life.
I regularly attend choir practice when I am in town.

I'm living with integrity when I keep my word to others.
I've raised my self-esteem.
I feel less stressed.
I am healthier.
I've deepened my relationship with my spouse and kids.
I have more time for what matters most.
