productivity hack that will do the trick. These are the core principles behind the productivity hack that you will use in this journal. 1 You have to be intentional World’s leading high performance coach Brendon Burchard believes that a lot of people need to get more intentional about their day, to create their ideal lives; not to have an ideal day once a millennium, but to have a string of ideal days. According to Brendon: ‘You have to have aim and intention to have a phenomenal day.’ 23 2 You have to be definitive According to blogger Josh Christophersen, many of us are plagued by a vague sense of guilt that we’re not doing enough. He believes that until we define “enough”, the voices will never be silent. And until we define “success”, we will never get focused on what needs to be done, much less accomplish it. He says: ‘Defining success makes success possible. Defining the specific action items necessary to accomplishing success is what makes it practical.’ 24 3 You have to be specific You probably have a vague definition in your mind of what you call a successful day.
