[01:38] How to break your year plan into daily calendar entries
[02:45] When planning your day put times by each task rather than just work through your list from A-Z
[03:37] Prioritise your day by doing the hardest things first (not last!)
[04:30] Plan your day in 30-minute chunks and don't underestimate how long tasks will take!
[05:19] Overestimate how long tasks will take (to cope with the unknowns that will invariably happen)
[06:20] Block out time in your diary that is uninterruptible
[08:30] Physically cross out tasks as you complete them
[08:55] Your daily goal should be to cross off all tasks
[09:40] Aim to start and end your day in the same way every day - your morning and evening rituals
[10:50] Set your big goals for the week (by looking at your monthly plan)
