How To Plan Your Day

* Visualize your long term picture of success and put it in writing. Review your goal frequently. Your goal should be specific, measurable, achievable and compatible with where you are now. There should be an end date as well. Steven Covey calls this "Begin with the end in mind."
* Try to do your planning at the same time every day. Use this time to review past accomplishments as well as future things to do.
* Use only one planner to keep track of your appointments. Keeping a separate business and personal planner creates confusion.
* Write out a To Do list every day. Include items that can be completed, such as "Prepare exhibits for monthly report", rather than just "Work on report."
* Separate your To Do list into A, B and C priorities. "A" items are important to your long term success, "B" may be urgent but not as important and "C" are those that would be nice to do if you get the time.
* Start with the A items. Don't work on a C just because it's easy to do.
