To prioritize the stars ask yourself, “If I have time to complete only one task out of these, which task I need to complete?” This will be your highest priority task and rank it No. 1 and similarly, give rank to all other activities based on priority.

• Being specific.

While writing your daily goals, you have to be specific. Don't write a vague statement. For example, if your task is reading a book then you should write ‘Read 10 pages of XYZ book.’ This will help you to verify whether your daily target is achieved or not.

Once you are done with your list, now, it's time to identify the sub-steps to complete this task. Find out what are the different ways of completing this task?

You can write these daily goals in the morning, first after taking bath or at night before going to sleep. I will recommend you to write it in the morning, plan your day and start working accordingly. For some of you, it may not be possible to do it in the morning, then, for all those planning at night is the best option.

• The checklist.

At the end of the day, before you go to sleep or if you are planning your next day at night then before planning for the next day, you have to prepare a checklist. Simply tick-mark all tasks which are complete. If you can't complete all the tasks, then, think what went wrong and what you can do to get better results tomorrow. this will help you to track your day in a better way. You will learn from your mistakes.

A small advice for you which will help you in getting best result is, think about any task you are doing and ask yourself “Will it create the daily outcome that you are looking to create?” If the answer is ‘YES’ then continue and the answer is ‘NO’ then it's time to focus on another task.
