Planning your day is a simple as 1, 2, 3!
Do you ever
feel overwhelmed with everything you have to get done? Do you place so many
goals and tasks on your “list” of things to do that you don’t know where to
begin? Do you find yourself at the end of the day wondering if you've done
anything (or anything of value) having to do with moving ahead on your goals? If
any of these things apply to you and your situation, try this exercise which
has helped me and others who are attainment achievers.
- Choose only 3 things from your large list of tasks.
- Prioritize these 3 things and do the most important thing first, then the second, and then only if you have completed one and two, go on to task three.
- Don’t feel badly if you only did task one, or tasks one and two and not three; congratulate yourself for doing what you have done!
- Reward yourself throughout the day with a short break, some “small” treat, a walk or something before moving on to the next task
Repeat the
above exercise daily and review nightly. Ideally, every night before you go to
sleep you should review your day’s accomplishments. And then, assign the next
day’s three tasks.. Also at the end of the week and at the end of the month
revel in the fact that you've accomplished so much!
Never again
will you say things like: “I never get anything done”, or “I haven’t gotten
anything done”. You will say victoriously: “I get things done in a timely
manner and live a balanced life!”
