    Imagine you can have a perfect day every single day. How we spend our days indicates how we spend our lives. But first, you have to know what a perfect day looks like for you. How do you design a repeatable, enjoyable, productive day that moves life forward?

    In this episode, Sharran shares his diagnostic tool for determining whether he had a perfect day and offers suggestions on how to make up for days when you don't get to do the things you had to do. He developed this perfect day scorecard composed of six specific items to ensure each day does not pass by with wasted opportunities. You don't have to do all six things at once, but incorporating some of them into your daily activities will dramatically improve your life. Why don't you give the perfect day scorecard a try?

    “I've realized over the years that if I don't have a scorecard, if I don't have a diagnostic on what I'm doing on a day-to-day basis, then I have no way of seeing, thinking, or feeling as to how I did that day.”
