  You can tell me that excellence matters to you, that productivity is a value that you adore, that being great in business is important to you, that being a world-class family woman or family man is an imperative for you, but show me your schedule and I'll get a sense of your true values. I mean, your schedule each day really does predict the rest of your life. So it's not about what you talk about, it's about what you actually schedule. And the things that we schedule are the things that get done. I'm going to repeat that again because it's so important, but the things that you schedule are the things that get done. There's something absolutely powerful about taking out a written piece of paper,

  and I like writing it, and having that map right in front of you, it's almost like a war sheet. You're like a warrior, and every day is a battle, but you know, obviously a positive battle, a productive battle, but you literally start to schedule out every single day. And I do it on Sunday mornings. It's like a sacred routine that I do. And I take out this piece of paper, and I literally do Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. And I call this my blueprint for a beautiful week. And actually, you don't need a formal template. You can do it in your journal. You can do it on any piece of paper. You can do it on a big piece of paper so you see it all day. And again, I like writing it out because if I put it in my digital device, I forget about it.

  I'm a very visual type of a person, like a lot of creative people. And so what I do is, this is the ritual of strategic time blocking. I block Block out times at the office with my team. I block out times in creative work. I actually block that out. I block out times for beautiful family dinners with my loved ones. I block out my two massages every week. I call this my two massage protocol. It's really a great source of staying on the top of my game and having tons of energy. I block out my 5:00 AM routines. And literally after this process, it takes me about 45 minutes to do, like I say, every Sunday morning. I have blocked out my highest priorities.

  And so now I have a visual template, a visual map for a world-class week. Why? Because the things that get scheduled are the things that get done. And vague goals lead to vague results. But with precision of these time blocks and a very detailed schedule, you will do remarkable things in your week.
