1. Find an elephant (i.e. set a goal).
2. Break it down. Break the goal down into small manageable steps. This will help me to stay focused and not feel so overwhelmed.
3. Steps can be tasks or even entire projects.
4. In the event that a step is a project, break the project down into tasks.
5. Keep a task-list (todo-list) & have it with me at all times to add things as they spring to mind.
6. Prioritise each step (project and/or task) based on how significantly it moves me towards meeting my goal.
7. Schedule time every day to work on the goal. Do Priority A Work during my peak time of the day.
8. Schedule Priority B Work (i.e. daily, weekly, monthly tasks, projects & appointments that are part of the work that must be done in order to maintain the status quo) after or between Priority A Work (because this work does not require high levels of concentration, it can be done during non-peak periods as long as it is completed on schedule).
9. Identify what I need to get each step (project and/or task) done & get it.
10. What’s the (or a realistic) deadline?
11. Roughly divide all steps involved into an equal amount of work every day (allow myself more time than I think I need)
12. Schedule in breaks.
13. Reward myself with fun stuff AFTER I worked on my goal
14. Keep track of my accomplishments with a tada-list. Update it every evening.
15. Every evening re-prioritise & decide on 3-5 tasks to accomplish the next day. Focus ONLY on those tasks & complete them before moving on to new tasks.

Project A —-> GOAL <—- Project B
. Task (Project A) . Task (Project B)
. Task (Project A) . Task (Project B)
. Task (Project A) . Task (Project B)

1. Taking action is essential!
2. Visualise where I want to be in a month’s time, in six month’s time, in a year’s time & write it down!
3. Say NO to time robbers!
