There was a particular class from a particular Ivy-league university. For the purposes of this little story - it was the class of '75 and they were from Harvard. Someone decided to track the various levels of success and failure of this class.
Fast forward 2000, the results of the study were surprising. They all shared similar economic backgrounds, same education, same situations. The surprise was that there were those who were more successful then the rest of the class.
This group that was more successful than the rest, the study discovered, did the one thing that set them apart. They wrote all their goals and subsequent tasks down!
See, we can all think and wish about what we want to do and what we should do. It doesn't really mean anything if we don't put pen to paper.
Write your goals. Write your daily, weekly, monthly tasks down. Not only does it put things into perspective but is also cranks your time management skills into a whole new level!
I've written my resolutions down. I'm now writing my task list for this week. It's going to be a busy one.
It's very simple. Get a blank piece of paper. Get a pen. Write. List your goals. Where you want to be and the necessary action steps to get you there.
