How to Set Goals for Achieving
Instructions

1
Clear your schedule for at least 15 minutes. Gather your materials together, whether it be a pencil and paper or your computer with word processing software.
-
2
Write down everything you need to get done. This can be anything from a work or school related project to laundry or shopping. Anything you think needs to be accomplished, write it on the list.
-
3
Analyze the list for priority. If something is of highest priority, such as "deposit check into bank" or "plan for meeting at work," put an A next to it. A tasks are the most important. If a task is important, but doesn't take precedent over other tasks, such as "get oil changed," "do laundry," etc., put a B next to it. B tasks are necessary, but are not imminently necessary. All of the tasks that are left put a C next to them. C tasks are things such as "organize your desk" or "sew a button on a shirt" or recreational activities. C tasks are things you would like to do, but don't have to do immediately.

4
Look at your list and rewrite it with the As on top, then the Bs and finally the Cs.
-
5
Complete your A tasks. This will help you take care of the most important tasks first and leave the others until you have time.
-
6
Complete your B tasks once your A tasks are done.
-
7
Complete your C tasks once your B tasks are done.
-
8
Keep track of your progress and adjust your list to how productive you are. As you accomplish more and more, you may decide to put more items on the list.
