A good project plan, to do list, and calendar have
been the keys to my success so far. Frankly it is really the only way that I get
anything done. I can remember being back in college and freaking out because I
had a test or papers to write, and my mom sitting on the phone with me and
creating a schedule of when I was going to get things done. It is really the
only thing that calmed me down when I was having one of my
moments.
Now, whenever I feel overwhelmed at work, one of
the first things I do is create a to-do list. But, I find that just like goals,
having something with a deadline attached is what really propels us into action;
especially for someone like me who can be a procrastinator.

Right now I am about to start the 28 day "Get Client’s Now" marketing system by C.J. Hayden. This program allows you to set marketing goals and create a tracking system with daily actions. I have found this to be very helpful in the past, so helpful that I have utilized the system for other areas in my life that have nothing to do with marketing. I even adapted their tracking sheet to assist my clients with staying focused and looking for jobs.
As we've been discussing it is all about finding what works for you. I believe strongly in writing things down and making lists. A good to-do list or project plan can increase your productivity in unimaginable ways.
