First, you will want to set goals for yourself so you know what you want to finish by the end of the day, week, month and year. The more goals you finish will raise your self-respect and confidence in your abilities. Once you have set your goals you will need to prioritize which goals are the most important to you. You may need to write them down so that you can select which ones need to be completed first. This brings us to the third thing you will need to do plan. Once you have written out your goals and their priority you will need to plan on how to accomplish the goals. You can make your goals happen by planning the best route to complete the tasks. After you have finished this phase, you may find that you should delegate a few tasks to someone who can handle the task.
One of the best ways to feel good about completing a small goal is to start a points system. The people at Joe's goals (http://www.joesgoals.com/index.cfm) can help you start your own little log book to help you keep score. You can enter in your own goals and how many points you want to reward yourself for completing the task. Additionally, you can take away points for not completing a task that day by making a negative point goal. They can run a report for you anytime you want with a detailed list of your progress. It really helps for those people that like to have some instant gratification after finishing a task. You can add a badge to your Myspace or personal website to let others see how you are doing. It really feels great to be able to update the list with a little green check mark. In fact, you can check it as many times as you completed the task that day. Then if you have the negative goals, it will subtract it from your running total.
Of course, it always helps to know what time of day you get the most done, so you can plan your day ahead. You can develop your own style and after a period, it will become part of your normal routine. Try getting an early start on your day by getting organized, if you know where everything is you are less likely to be distracted by other projects. You can lay out the things you will need in the morning before you go to bed at night. Lay out your clothes and setting the table for breakfast will help you ease into your day in the morning instead of rushing around before heading out to work. Try not to commit to many things during the day since you can easily over schedule your time.
