Purpose Your Day: Most Important Task (MIT)

I’ve mentioned this briefly in my morning routine, but I thought I’d explain a little bit more about MITs – Most Important Tasks. It’s not an original concept, but one that I use on a daily basis and that has helped me out tremendously.
It’s very simple: your MIT is the task you most want or need to get done today. In my case, I’ve tweaked it a bit so that I have three MITs — the three things I must accomplish today. Do I get a lot more done than three things? Of course. But the idea is that no matter what else I do today, these are the things I want to be sure of doing. So, the MIT is the first thing I do each day, right after I have a glass of water to wake me up.
And here’s the key to the MITs for me: at least one of the MITs should be related to one of my goals. While the other two can be work stuff (and usually are), one must be a goal next-action. This ensures that I am doing something to move my goals forward that day.
And that makes all the difference in the world. Each day, I’ve done something to make my dreams come true. It’s built into my morning routine: set a next-action to accomplish for one of my goals. And so it happens each day, automatically.
Another key: do your MITs first thing in the morning, either at home or when you first get to work. If you put them off to later, you will get busy and run out of time to do them. Get them out of the way, and the rest of the day is gravy!
It’s such a small thing to implement, and yet I’m raving about it like it’s a huge revelation. But it is. Sometimes small things can make big differences. I highly recommend you give it a go.

计划你一天最重要的事

在我的晨例中已经简单的提到了这个问题，但是我想我应该把这个“一天中最重要的事”解释得再更具体一点。它不是一个最新的概念，但是我基本上每天都使用，并且给了我极大的帮助。
很简单：你的一天中最重要的事就是你今天想要或是需要完成的任务.以我为例，做了一下调整，我有一天中要做三件最重要的事——这三件事是我今天必须完成的。除了这三件事情之外，我还可以做其它的事情吗？当然可以了。但是不管我想今天要做其它的什么事情，这三件事是我确信要做的。所以最重要的事情是我每天要做的第一件事，之后我就喝一杯水好让自己保持清醒。
做最重要的事的一个关键：至少有一件要与我的目标相关。当其它两件事能够圆满完成的时候，这件事必须是下一个行动的目标，这样就能够保证我正在做的事情能够跟随我的目标而前进。
那样就使这个世界里的一切不同而趋同。每天，我做一些事情去实现我的梦想。也被记录在我的晨例中：建立下一个行动去完成我的目标。不知不觉的，每天都这样子了。
另一个关键：早晨做的第一件事就是你最重要的事，要么在家完成，要么上班的时候完成。假如你把它拖到后面去做，你就会变得很忙并耗尽时间去做它.把事情放在一边，一天的其他时间就会变得沉重！
去做这样的一件小事，也还能够使我像一件大事一样的极力赞美。但是，有时，一件小事也会有很大的影响。我极力推荐你也采取这样的行动。
