These are not in any particular

order. But number one is Outlook. So it's what I use for email, but more importantly,

is what I use for my calendar. Everything goes into my Outlook calendar, my personal commitments,

my scheduled coaching sessions, my time blocks, if I'm time blocking to research something or work on a project,

all of it is on my calendar.

Whatever calendar system you use, it doesn't matter.

You've got to use it and have everything in there.
