Reassess Yourself

71

A check-up gives you a chance to identify warning

signs and areas that need improvement before it’s too

late, so that you can change your plan or shift your

priorities. Even if you’re in good shape, a frequent

check-up will, at the very least, give you the peace of

mind that your plan is working well.

When checking up, ask yourself these questions:

• Do I feel prepared and focused each day?

• Do I feel like I have enough time to get every-

thing done?

• Am I completing my scheduled tasks?

• Am I making reasonable progress each week?

• Do I frequently work at a comfortable, non-

frenzied pace?

• Are my time estimates more accurate than

before?

• Am I meeting deadlines?

• Am I achieving my goals?
