Benjamin Franklin’s Daily Goals

I think in many things American is so lucky; in the past, they have so many great leaders. One, I really admire, is Benjamin Franklin. Do not know much about him, I read his autobiography when I was in Japan. A week ago somehow crossed my mind to buy the book again. I missed a few good stories in there.

The one, I missed, is Benjamin Franklin’s Daily Goals; a table that shown his planning along a day. According to the table, he started his day at 05.00, and begun with a good question: What good shall I do today? He did some regular stuffs until 08.00, then work from 08.00 until 12.00.

Stop for lunch, and evaluated his day from 12.00 until 14.00. Then worked again from 14.00 until 17.00. From 17.00 until 22.00, he evaluted his day with a question: What have I done today? besides brought things back to their place, did some conversation and had some mucis, and went to bed.

I think that is a good way to run a life.
