Having lists, tools and targets is a great start, but it you’re like most people, there are too many things on the to-do list and not enough time, no matter how focused you are. I can suggest using a highlighter pen on that list. At the start of the day, highlight the top 5 most important things. Then go to it. Reward your efforts, and then mark the next 5 things and do them. You’ll be just as busy, but far more effective.

Good luck!

I had the same problem last year and for 2 weeks I kept a log of what I spent my time I (even though I was sure I knew). Surprisingly, it was all the little things - 5 minute tasks - that added up and took away from the main things I wanted to achieve each day. Things like replying to emails as they arrive, ‘just a few minutes’ on this or that forum, a quick look at this great looking site. So now I’ve become a lot stricter - well, a little bit stricter - and it’s helped immensely. And when I’m surfing the net (surfing is counted as exercise, isn’t it?? I should be getting 30 minutes minimum each day?) or on business forums, I set the timer for 30 mins or 1 hour, or whatever time I feel I can reasonably allow. As for all the errands and driving kids around, I’m still working on that one. Good luck!
