The Daily Discipline Checklist

Rather than rely on memory, habit, or instinct to keep you disciplined, use a checklist.

Navy SEALs use checklists. Surgeons and pilots do, too. It's an easy tool to implement that removes the risks of forgetting, guessing, or reacting before thinking.

Here's a checklist to enhance your Daily Discipline:

1. What results am I trying to create?
2. What does excellence look like for me?
3. What decisions do I need to make today?
4. What actions do I need to do today?
5. What purpose will I serve?
6. What standard will I choose?
7. What effort will I give?
8. What skills will I use?

Where is the best place to put this checklist so you see it and answer these questions each day?

The time is now. Do the work.
