Wouldn't it be nice to get the very most out of the 24 hours we're blessed with each day? Good news! Getting the most out of your day, can be as easy as these 7 simple ideas.

1. Write a TO DO List...A-B.C.

Using your Master List as a guide (you do have a Master List, right?), create a To Do List every day. Include 4 tasks on your To Do List, and work on those items. Don't allow yourself to put anything else on your list, until those initial items are completed. In addition, be sure you have a mix of A (High), B (Medium) and C (Low) Priority items on your list. Try to have your list reflect 60% 'A' Priority items, 30% 'B' Priority items and 10% 'C' Priority items.

2. Write a NOT TO DO List.

Write a list of what you're doing each week that you want to stop doing. Are you involved in activities that you don't enjoy? Are you always helping someone out, and never getting any time-saving favors in return? Are you tired of dinner being interrupted so that you, or family members, must answer the telephone? Remember, you have the power to say 'No.'

3. Give yourself an hour.

With everything going on in a given day, it's no wonder that people schedule time for dozens of work-related tasks, but rarely schedule time for themselves. Give yourself a minimum of an hour a day. Use this time to read, meditate, enjoy your garden, take a walk in the park--whatever it is that you love to do. And whatever you do, don't break that appointment with yourself.

4. Get JUST ENOUGH sleep.

Most people need between six to eight hours of sleep, to feel refreshed and ready-to-go each day. Determine how many hours of sleep you need, and get that needed sleep each night. If possible, try to go to bed at the same time each night, and wake up at the same time each day. This will help your body get into a routine. Use an alarm clock to wake up, and don't sleep more that your needed time. Over-sleeping may make you feel more tired during the day.

5. Take short energy breaks.

In order to get the most out of your day, it's important to feel energetic. If you're hungry or light-headed, take a short break and have a snack...something nutritious. Feeling a little bit stressed? Take a 10-minute nap, or an invigorating 10-minute walk.

6. Eliminate interruptions.

It's difficult to get things done when you're being interrupted. Are co-workers constantly stopping by your office to chat? Do your kids interrupt you every time you start writing that letter you've been meaning to get to? Is your phone always ringing or dinging, and interrupting the projects you're working on? If you really need to get something done, it's important to focus. And the only way to focus is to eliminate interruptions. Close your office door. Give your kids a project to work on, while you write your letter. Have your voicemail, answering machine, or assistant take your calls for you. Temporarily turn phone notifications off.

7. Define your hours.

If you need to work on something important every day, define the hours you plan to work on that project and block those hours of time out on your calendar. For instance, if you're in business, you might consider Monday 9a-10a your 'Marketing Hour,' 10a-11a your 'Phone Hour,' and 11a-12n your 'E-mail Hour.' If you're home, perhaps 8a-9a could be your 'Quiet Hour,' 10a-11a may be your 'Errand Hour' and 5p-6p might be your 'Dinner Preparation' Hour.

At the end of the day or on the weekend, the last thing that you want to do is clean your house, right?! It's definitely not what I want to be doing.
