"The Simple 3-Step Formula To Planning Your Day"
by Shafir Ahmad


If I could sum up managing your time effectively in
3 simple steps, here is what they would be...

1) Define Your Goals for the day
2) Create your to-do list
3) Schedule it


Define Your Goals

Setting goals is key in time managment. Once your goals are
established, all your tasks will be goal driven and this
sets a motion in place. This will allow you to get a sense
of achievement, a feeling of security and confidence.

Define the time limits allowed for each goal. This is just
as important as the goal itself as this keeps you on track
on progress. Without any time limits set, you risk
procrastination or pushing it aside. So, go ahead! Ask
yourself what are the goals or mini-goals (those that adds
up towards achieving a bigger goal) you want to achieve for
the day.


Create Your To-Do List

Next important step is to create your to-do list. The key
to a successful to-do list is defined by these words:
"simple", "realistic" and "accessible". Write down
everything that you need to do.

There are four main advantages in having a to-do list:

- It ensures that you do not miss out all the things that you need to do.

- Prioritize and decide which jobs should be done first.

- It helps you to make use of your time productively. For example,
when you are out picking your groceries for the week,
you can also pick up clothes you sent for dry-cleaning.

- It allows you to track progress and any outstanding can
be carried over instead of being forgotten.


Schedule It

The to-do list is the foundation for a perfect schedule.
Scheduling is the act of assigning a designated time to
execute the tasks you have set forth to do.

As you plan on your schedule, assign the best time that
will correspond effectively with each activity in your
to-do, which also leads up to your goals.
