What’s one thing in your routine that you do consistently that has made a huge difference in your personal or business life?
Sabrina: The one thing in my routine that I do consistently is having a system to track my things-to-do list. Monday mornings I spend 2 hours creating the list for the week over breakfast. Then the remainder of the week I get the joy of scratching things off the list. If I don’t get to an item it simply rolls over to next week.
