Make Today Count

by John C. Maxwell

Maxwell's 'Daily Dozen': attitude, priorities, health, family, thinking, commitment, finances, faith, relationships, generosity, values and growth, each with a daily decision and a daily discipline. It is the most practical of his small books because it asks for one small action per area rather than a new philosophy.

Read it if…

you want a daily checklist that covers the whole of life, not just work.

Skip it if…

twelve areas a day feels like twelve more to-dos; pick three.

Three things you will actually use

  1. Success is decided daily, not once.
  2. Decide once, then manage the decision every day.
  3. Small disciplines compound into a life.

Do this first

Choose the three of the twelve where you are weakest and run those for a month.

Our verdict

One small action per area, daily.
