Successful people hate to-do lists. Instead, they calendar their day into manageable bits of
awesomeness like this:
05:30 AM – Wake up
05:31 AM – Polish rings
05:35 AM – Gym
08:00 AM – Breakfast with Gisele and kids
09:00 AM – Mattress commercial
11:00 AM – Nap
11:59 AM – Polish rings again
12:00 PM – Lunch
01:00 PM – Surf
03:00 PM – Be awesome
04:00 PM – Quality time with Alex – Massage
06:00 PM – Dinner
07:00 PM – Answer G.O.A.T. DMs on Instagram
08:25 PM – Kiss rings goodnight – give light shine
08:30 PM – Sleep
For others, their list looks more like this:
05:20 AM – Tweet
05:30 AM – Wake up
06:00 AM – Talk shop with V.P. (not Pence)
08:00 AM – Watch Fox
08:45 AM – Block NYT reporter (worst ever)

12:45 PM – Lunch
02:00 PM – Fire phony guy (very dishonest and weak)
03:00 PM – Play golf
04:30 PM – Call Kim (terrific guy)
06:30 PM – Dinner (meatloaf + 2 scoops of ice cream)
08:00 PM – Rant at courts (completely overrated)

01:00 AM – No sleep
One of them is Tom Brady’s calendar.
Lists simply keep piling up and honestly you’ll never get them done.
Set apart a focus time for your high-intensity tasks, and allow a buffer for everything else.
Assign realistic timeslots and stick to them. No matter what.
Make your schedule great again.
