Schedule It!!! • Fill in all of your fixed activities. • Fill in all of your appointments. • Fill in number one priorities at best times. • Fill in whichever number two activities you can realistically accommodate. • Save number three activities for week four, when we will set goals and break larger projects down into smaller chunks.
