There are many ways one can manage their time, two specific ways are, schedule and prioritize.
If you take the time to schedule, you are taking control of how you plan to spend your time. By making conscious decisions about what goals one has, and creating a plan of action to accomplish those goals one can move forward, in a desired fashion, undertaking only the required tasks to achieve the goals.
By listing major goals, then dividing those goals into smaller increments, one may see the plan unfold. This creates a roadmap of building blocks to success.
The ability to prioritize and the execution of that talent are vital to goal accomplishment. The exercise of creating priorities defines the value one give to the tasks and goals outlined. Knowing what is most important to one will help define and solidify the path and focus required to accomplish the desired success.
Without scheduling the prioritized tasks one is just a wanderer in the forest of life.

I used to have a really hard time setting goals. I don't know what it was - I just avoided it like the plague. I guess it meant I was committing to a course of action and I wasn't ready to committ to anything. Setting a goal means setting an expectation. I wanted to be invisible, hiding in books and television. It took a long time before I felt safe setting goals - little ones - but I finally caught the vision, "There is great satisfaction in accomplishment." That's what keeps me going - satisfaction. Thanks for the reminder!
