Before You Take a Break, Check These Off
Success is not just about working hard—it’s about working smart. If you want to take a well-earned break, ensure you have completed these four critical steps:
Weekly Scoreboard (Outbound Activity is Complete)
Have you met your outreach goals for the week?
Did you complete your required prospecting calls, emails, or networking efforts?
Review your performance metrics to ensure you are consistently moving toward your goals.
CRM is Up-to-Date
Your CRM is your business’s backbone—have you logged all client interactions?
Are all follow-up tasks set for the upcoming week?
A well-maintained CRM keeps your pipeline healthy and prevents opportunities from slipping through the cracks.
Mental Map
Do you have a clear vision for the week ahead?
Have you identified key meetings, deadlines, and priorities?
Mental mapping helps you stay proactive rather than reactive.
Vision Board
Are your long-term goals still in focus?
Have you reviewed your personal and professional aspirations?
Visualization is a powerful motivator that keeps you aligned with your bigger purpose.
A break is most rewarding when it is well-earned. Before you step away, ensure that your weekly scoreboard, CRM, mental map, and vision board are in check. When you plan on Sunday, you set yourself up for a productive and stress-free week.
