A need to be active and really focus on your duties today can inspire you to reassess all you do over the course of each 24-hour period. You may discover that you spend a great deal of time investing your energy in activities that do not benefit you or the individuals with whom you share your environment. If you want to increase your productivity today, you may want to design a new agenda that allows you to use your resources--time, energy, and intellect--more wisely. Learning more about how you approach your routine duties can help you eliminate from your life those pursuits that do not enrich your experience in some way.

We are capable of performing great feats of accomplishment when we acknowledge the importance of our individual duties. While we likely deal with many seemingly insignificant tasks each day, each of these has the potential to be vital to our well-being, the well-being of others, and worldly well-being when viewed in a larger context. Celebrating our achievements, however mundane, allows us to feel a sense pf pleasure and satisfaction when crossing off an item on our to-do list. And it is the fulfillment we glean from these minor triumphs in our personal and professional lives that enable us to move on to our next objective with an enthusiastic mind-set and an abiding passion for a job well done. You will feel truly productive today when you take the time to acknowledge how much you accomplish in a relatively short period of time.
