Going about your day without any sort of plan, format, or structure is an easy way to set yourself up for uncertainty and failure. A plan for the day can create excitement by giving us something to look forward to, an opportunity to go after something, a reason to awaken the next morning. Life is much bigger than waking up and not knowing what will happen—you should have a say in what happens in your life.

What if I told you it’s possible to buy back your time? It might sound impossible, but I assure you it’s achievable. While time seems to slip through our fingers, leaving us feeling powerless, the truth is that we can take control—if we create structure in our lives.
