“Procrastination is my sin. It brings me naught but sorrow.
I know that I should stop it. In fact, I will–tomorrow!”
–Gloria Pitzer
“He who every morning plans the transactions of that day and follows that plan carries a thread that will guide him through the labyrinth of the most busy life.”
Continuing on our journey of accomplishing our goals and visions let’s review what we have covered so far. We have discussed clearly stating our goal or vision, understanding why or what motivates us to want this outcome, what is in the way (obstacles), possible solutions to those obstacles and the action steps necessary to create those solutions. Now, we must connect our plan to our daily life.
This is when we take out our time management tool to aid us in completing the tasks to bring about our future reality. It does not matter what kind of system we use, just that we use one. We can use a sophisticated proprietary planner, electronic calendars, paper calendars, yellow legal pads or any other types of programs and applications on our phones. Pick one that works for you. Now take all of the action steps into that system so that you can keep track of tasks. This is where the rubber meets the road. So, figure out a way that works for you to manage the system. Some people prefer to review their progress and plans for the next day at the end of the day. Others prefer to complete this task the first thing in the morning. Don’t forget to celebrate and reward yourself as you complete the tasks on your way to achieving your goals.
