Hold your reactions until other people have fully expressed their ideas. Specify when the goal is to be attained using realistic deadlines. Write the goal on your calendar to remind yourself of self-imposed deadlines. Having a time frame for completion holds people accountable and allows you to assess performance often. If the government simply tells you to get your taxes in when your schedule allows, it might not happen.
Priorities can provide clear guidelines for management decisions.
High priority goals need not take all your attention and resources away from other goals. Consider your personal life goals as well as your business aims. Make plans for action and implementing goals. Use established priorities to allocate resources to activities and enterprises directly linked to your high priority goals. Be creative in generating and implementing new ideas.
