TIPS

Steps

1. 1
   Make a random list of tasks.
   
   
2. 2
   Assign realistic priorities to each task.
   
   • Priority 1: due today or tomorrow
   • Priority 2: due in one week
   • Priority 3: due in one month
   • Priority 4: due next year
3. 3
   Balance your effort. Work on small portions every day.
   
   • Do the daily tasks. Concentrate on what is at hand, then move on to the next daily task. Once daily tasks are completed, proceed to the next step, if desired.
   • Do the weekly tasks. Once weekly tasks are completed, proceed to the next step, if desired.
   • Do the monthly tasks. Once monthly tasks are completed, proceed to the next step, if desired.
   • Do the yearly tasks.
   • Small portions of the future tasks will have been done ahead of time.
