Someone asked me recently how I get so much done. My secret is simply this: Small steps. Most projects are too big or at least they appear too big and can be overwhelming so break them down into smaller parts and do one part at a time. Do that part well. Then do the next part. When that is finished, do the next. Break everything down into workable units. Don’t try to do everything all at once. It’s important to plan our goals. Start with a long term goal and then break it down, What can you do short term in order to get to the next step? If you have completed a step, don’t check it off your list until you have started the next step.
Then periodically evaluate your achievements and check your progress. If things are going along as planned, that’s wonderful! If not, ask yourself some questions:
Were your goals realistic? Did you allow enough time? Did you do all you possibly could to reach your goal? Do you still want these goals? Is there anything you should be learning? Has anything changed since you began? Do you need to do some things differently? If so, what?
With the answers to these questions, you’ll come up with a new course of action.
