3. Time is what we want most, but... what we use worst. ~William Penn

4. Goals, Priorities and Planning
What is the goal?
Why am I doing this?
What needs to be done to succeed?
What will happen if I don’t do it?

5. Time Management Techniques
Draft a plan
Failing to plan is planning to fail
Create a daily schedule
Use planners, calendars, journals, phones, iPads, or other electronic devices to map out your daily routine
Make a list of obligations and duties
A simple to do list is a visual aid that helps with organization and serves as a reminder

6. To Do Lists Break tasks down into steps
Prioritize and complete obligations according to due dates
The Four Quadrant To Do (Example)
Break things down into small steps. Get your self going. Start with the worst thing in order to have something to look forward to.

Important
Sort your To Do List by quadrant instead of by due date. Which quadrant should be worked on immediately? Which should be last? Many people go from I to III instead of I to II. If it is not important – don’t do it. If you work on things in quadrant II it will not be able to make its way into quadrant I. You will get more things done more quickly.
