Three Big Things per Day

        I read recently in the blogesphere that we should focus on getting three significant things done per day. The point seemed to be that we often times start our day by looking at so many things that need to be done that we are paralyzed from achieving many of them. I agree that three big things is an ambitious goal per day however, I would add something of critical importance. There are anywhere between fifteen and forty little things that also need to be accomplished every single day these little things may include task generation, task delegation, reinforcing themes within your staff, short client phone calls, short return emails to clients, taking out the trash, cleaning up your office, going through your daily mail, and a host of other little ten to fifteen minute items which must be accomplished. I believe that it is these little things that make all the difference in whether your day is a success or a failure, as to whether you ended up further ahead or further behind by days end.
