Organize Your Priorities

We all have a lot we want to accomplish and don't know where to start. You want it all and you want it now. Where do you start? You're going to have to choose to do one thing first. You may be able to solve more than one problem at a time, but if you try to tackle them all at once, you'll be overwhelmed. You have to put your objectives in order of importance and plan to start at the top of the list.

Whether you have 3 goals or 30, you have to assign an order to each goal, putting the most important at the top of the list. Only you can decide what that order will be. Examine each one and choose which is most important and should come first. The more time you put into prioritizing now, the more time and energy you'll save down the road.

Prioritizing your goals will clarify which ones demand your immediate attention and which are not quite as urgent. All goals are not created equal, so sorting them out is essential. To achieve success, you need to know what you're aiming for. In order to get what you want, you first must clarify what it is you want and in what order you want it. And it is also essential to do this exercise on paper (or computer), it will improve significantly the probability of you taking the necessary follow-up actions to achieve the goal.
