"While I have tried several different online scheduling and organization tools, the one I prefer best is a sample checklist of short-term and long-term goals and the individual tasks related to these. I review this list at the beginning of each day and determine what I can do to advance toward achieving these goals in the most efficient manner. The two criteria I use include the importance and urgency of each task. I concentrate on the most important and most urgent tasks, followed by important but not urgent and then urgent but not important tasks. The last set of tasks which are not urgent or important usually get dropped off the list."
