Divide the hour into five parts. The first three and the fifth take 10 minutes each, the fourth 20 minutes. Optimal time is between 4 be:30 a.m. and 6 a.m. If, for any reason, the silence is broken you start again.
First part (10 minutes)
is to be taken up with reflection about the previous day, what could have been done to make it better, and analysis of why the better way was not taken yesterday.
Part Two (10 minutes)
is to write down all the things that you need to do today.
Part Three (10 minutes)
is to write down one's goals--for the next seven days, for the next 12 months and for the next five years. Restate these goals daily.
Part Four (20 minutes)
is to read for 15 minutes. The book can be inspirational or informative, and about anything that tells you something new. Spend the final five minutes of this part jotting down a summary of what you have just read. The following day, read the summary before you start your 15 minutes of reading.
Part Five (10 minutes)
is to communicate with your god, in the way that is most comfortable to you, and write a summary of that reflection.
Do all this for 21 days, and it becomes a habit. The silence and introspection make you a better you, because they help you channel your energies to maximum effect. And being a better you makes you better at business
