Setting Daily Goals

The most effective way to click a task is to get rid of it. If it doesn’t need to be done, get it off your to do list.

Without a clear focus, it’s too easy to buckle under to distractions. Set targets for every day beforehand.

Decide what you’ll do? then do it.

I am a great believer in setting goals. The act of writing them down and putting them where I can see them, can make the difference between success and failure. To help me keep goals top of mind, I like to do two things.

I like to put my personal goals on small business cards and keep them in my work area where I can see them. These simple cards keep my most important goals front and center.

A central dogma of many time management and personal productivity systems is that you need to expend more of your time doing those activities that are more crucial for reaching your goals, and less time doing those matters that are more insignificant.

 You must invest most of your time each week doing what you do best, and let other people do what they do best. Assigning some of your tasks to other people (maybe more qualified) individuals can free up your time and energy to follow up on your highest priority goals.

 For example, you may choose to hire an accountant instead of preparing your taxes yourself, thereby freeing up a couple of hours of your time and perhaps reducing stress. Naturally, each of us has to work out the value of one's time versus the economic cost of hiring somebody to do yard work, home repairs, and so on.

Without a clear focus, it’s too easy to buckle under to distractions. Set targets for every day beforehand. Decide what you’ll do? then do it.

We often discuss our goals as if they're nothing but dreams. Actually, we can accomplish goals on a daily basis. Daily goals contribute to weekly goals. Weekly goals add to monthly goals. Monthly goals add to--you guessed it--yearly goals. With some prevision and planning,

Your goals can be something we accomplish day in and day out. Here's how to begin.

Arrive at a list of goals every single day. Even if you foresee a slow day, it's still a beneficial idea to set goals for yourself. The sooner you assume the habit of setting daily goals, the earlier you'll get into the habit of meeting them.

Keep your every day goal lists in one place. You are able to utilize a spiral notebook, a PDA or your computer's calendar program. Keeping your goals in one place lets you look over the lists from days and weeks passed, which makes it simple for you to see how systematically you're meeting your goals.

Be honest about your daily goals. A goal like "Make ￡2,000 before 5 p.m." is undefined and unrealistic, but a goal like "Network with 4 clients" is totally attainable--and just may help you work toward that ￡2,000.

Picture your daily goals as the "building blocks" of your weekly and monthly goals. For instance, if you prefer to send marketing material to 10 prospective clients by the end of the week, make it your goal to send out material to 2 prospective clients per work day.

To shoot down procrastination learn to undertake your most obnoxious task first thing in the morning rather than detaining it till later in the day. This little triumph will set the tone for a really productive day.

Apex Cycles Of Productiveness

Identify your apex cycles of productiveness, and schedule your most crucial jobs for those times. Work at minor tasks during your non-peak times.

What time of day is your most productive.

Here, then, are some insights into people’s most productive hours.

In the total results, thirty-six percent of those reviewed said that the morning between nine and eleven was their most productive hours.

In 2nd place was early morning, when thirty-one percent of those who answered said their productivity was at its peak.

The lowest time for productivity was between twelve and two p.m., with only six percent of respondents stating this was their most productive hours. A mere nine percent said the evening between 7:30 and 10 was their most generative.

So what does all this mean to you, and how can you employ it in your daily life? Here’s the 2 suggestions about how to find and capitalize on their most productive time of day.

Start by locating your power times.

 Are you an early riser who takes on your morning to-do list with all the zest of a bear eating honey?

Maybe you’re a night owl and zip through your most urgent projects at 11 p.m.?

 Either way, knowing and capitalizing on your natural energy patterns — your power times — will help you be at your most productive by utilizing these times to tackle the projects you find most ambitious.
