Once you have your list, decide which activities are most important. Use a star or a different color to highlight the top three activities you want to focus on each day.

Create Your Routine:
Using your prioritized list, create a daily schedule. Draw a simple chart or write it out. Make sure to include time for breaks and fun activities!
