Identify and schedule what you need to do to achieve goals

from Finish What You Start: The Art of Following Through, Taking Action, Executing, & Self-Discipline by Peter Hollins

How to Apply This

  1. Define your goal.

  2. List the tasks needed to meet your goal in order of importance.
    Taking time to do this now increases efficiency.

  3. Write down the best time to do each task.
    When do you work most effectively, and on which tasks?

  4. Write down the distractions and temptations that might stop you from doing your most important tasks.
    Strategically avoid, moderate, or schedule these as appropriate.

  5. Schedule the tasks, considering their priority and the best time to do each.
    Be realistic.

  6. Perform your tasks as planned.
    This takes focus and self-discipline. Planning without action is procrastination.

  7. Make necessary improvements to your schedule based on your experience.
    Make sure your schedule is maximizing your productivity and efficiency.
