I hope by now you are starting to plan on a regular basis; here is step 3…
DAILY PLANNING
• At the beginning of each day, review your progress on yesterday's work, and note priority items for today.
• Spend a few minutes adjusting tasks to work on today.
• Order the day's tasks by priority level: I use the ABC system: A = Priority and must be done today; B = Important but does not have to be completed today and C = Low importance, can be delegated or re-scheduled later.
• Schedule items that will require more concentration for the time of day that you work best.
• Leave roughly 20 percent of your time unscheduled to make room for new items, delays, etc.
• Start with your top-priority item and work on it as long as you can or until it's completed. Once you've tackled your #1 job, move on to the next highest priority on your list.
When you put daily action to your plan, your goals will be dealt with efficiently & effectively!
Next time I'll look at some ways to overcome common faults.
To your success,
