Today, I got more done that I had planned.

I'm preparing for a trip to a major client. The delegation going from my company includes the most senior executives in my business unit. There's $100 million on the table.

I had a long list of outstanding tasks for the meeting. I planned on knocking off half of them today, but at 6:00 p.m., I have finished everything I can finish today:
* I received and staged the last of 5 demo applications I'll be showing
* I rehearsed the last demo
* I completed the competency matrix which will be a major hub in our presentation
* I participated in a meeting to finalize direction
* I had a great meeting with the client hostess to finalize plans
* I finished the page of the slide deck that I'll be giving
* I edited my demo slide deck and practiced the timings

Saturday, all I have to do is rehearse, rehearse, rehearse, do my homework for Business Ethics, and get a haircut.
