1.  Have I really been “present” at every meeting?

2.  Have I contributed?

3.  Did I help someone do their job better?

4.  Did I do some sort of physical warm-up today?

5.  Did I like my physical appearance today?

6.  Did I arrive to work early?

7.  Did I state my objectives for the day?

8.  Did I try a variety of tactics to win at my objective?

9.  Did I greet people as I passed by them today?

11.  Did I listen before I spoke?

12.  Did I offer a concrete suggestion to someone to upgrade their performance?

13.  Did I “check in” with someone on a personal basis?

16.  Did I have fun today?

17.  Was everyone with whom I came in contact today a little better afterwards?
