Here are some Smart Questions to get you started:

Where are you wasting time and effort?
What deserves more time and attention in your life?
How can you free up more time for yourself?
How can you protect your quality time?
Where do you need to say “No”?
What would you consider to be an ideal day? How can you create it?
What is the best use of your time right now?

Is your top priority today what is most urgent or what is most important? Don’t allow the bush fires to prevent you from giving your best attention to what matters most to you.
