Define maximum five things that are important to you. Try to make these things as specific as possible. The things you list here impact your planning/calendar directly. E.g. if starting and ending the day with your family is important to you, that imposes limits on the time available for work (which is a good thing, because you’ll work smarter). If reading is also important to you, you’ll have to plan time to do this during the day or week.
