I actually just had one of those moments.  My husband forgot the plumber was going to be at our rental property this morning, and we have a 10 appt. in town.  Too funny this question just came up.  We will just improvise and keep moving forward!

I have my DayTimer schedule prepared before the day begins but NO day in my world is "ROUTINE".   As the day progresses, I adjust and adapt to the new circumstances as they present themselves.

My schedule is a roadmap but detours do occur along the way.   In the end, I just hope I have had a productive day and accomplished as many of my goals as possible.   Those things that DID NOT get done get rescheduled.

Tomorrow is another day to get things done and I look forward to it !

Good morning Michael. I start my day at 4 AM, two hours of social media, 45-60 minutes of workout, liquid breakfast of fruits and vegetables and then to office. If that can't happen, I just start again the next day.
