2. Meal Planning: Planning meals ahead of time can make healthy eating easier and less stressful. It's all about breaking down the process into smaller, manageable tasks.

3. Calendar vs. Task Lists: Think of your calendar as the playing field and your task list as the plays. Your calendar should be non-negotiable, while tasks can be moved around.

4. Prioritizing Tasks: Identify your non-negotiable tasks like workouts and showers, and then fill in flexible tasks around these fixed points.

5. Goal Setting: Whether you write them down or keep them in your head, your goals should guide your daily tasks. Aligning your tasks with your goals is key to productivity.
