‘To do’ lists linked to achievement of your long term goals

Ensure that ‘To do’ lists are linked to the achievement of your longer-term goals

For example if you want to learn a foreign language, then schedule some time every day for study

A wall chart should help you to see this linkage in an instant. Also, decide which tasks you can delegate and ensure that the person given the task has the ability to execute it successfully otherwise you will have ‘to clear up the mess’ which will add to your time pressures.

Do not use your time management program like a new toy and ‘play’ with it constantly so you become bogged down with planning your time in such detail that it militates against actually getting on with the work (as one person pointed out to us: ‘Instead of becoming a means to an end, it became the end itself. It felt like wearing a straitjacket’).

Take a few minutes to plan tomorrow’s main activities before you go home and then on the day itself, get on with them. (McMahon, G. 2000)
