always do the most difficult job first. This will free your time and allow you to spend time on
activities of your interest.
2. Do It Now
Stop keeping things pending by forcing yourself to DO IT NOW. Every ‘done’ job is a small goal
achieved and this gives you a good feeling about yourself, which again motivates you to achieve
more in life.
People with strong goals automatically decide on what to do and when. Remember that goals
must have deadlines. This will help you decide on the tasks to be done in order of their
importance and reject those, which are unimportant, or ‘time- wasters’
Write things down, don’t try to remember. Carry a pocket diary and a jotting pad with you at all
times. Keep a jotting pad by your bedside also. Now, start making notes of
events,appointments, ideas and goals as they occur to you. You will soon become more
organized and produce more results from your time by using it productively.
Some everyday examples of wasted time are: Commuting: Waiting: Delegation without
commitment, and Friends and unnecessary use of the phone.Check on what else you can do
while commuting and waiting. Carrying books may help you. When you delegate, get time
commitment. Make association with friends who are productive rather than those who indulge
in time pass activities.

Procrastination is the negative habit of putting things off for a later time. Words like. Later;
‘tomorrow’; ‘we’ll see’ and ‘not now’ are so common that procrastination can be termed a
social illness. The more one avoids procrastination, the better the person manages activities
and time.
Dynamic goals compel us to perform dynamic activities whereas very easy or non-demanding
goals do not stretch our potential to produce dynamic goals and results.Weak interests in life
therefore, produce weak personalities and poor time managers
A negative reference group will never allow productive activities to be performed People with
low self-esteem pull others down, while, people with high self-esteembuild themselves and
others around them also.Reference groups, from a personality-development perspective,
include good books; T.V. channels; magazines and clubs.

critical issues. The act of writing goals down brings in the commitment to achieve the goal and
gives a positive direction to the person setting the goals.

specific. For example, ‘I want to earn money’ is not a goal but, I want to earn Rs. 20,000/- per
month’ is a goal.
Goals have power and energy.Allow your goals to pull you away from non-achieving activities
and create goal fulfilling behaviour and habits.For example, a ‘l am going to lose 20 kgs’ goal
must pull one away from ice-cream and guide one towards health foods and exercise.
