www.BetsyTalbot.com Before I write the first word of a book, I know when it
will publish. There is a power to setting deadlines, whether you're talking about
tomorrow's to-do list or the biggest goal you've ever had. If you put it on the
calendar, you can work backward to find the daily steps. And then you do them,
one by one, spurred by your deadline. I've used this method to do everything
from write books to sell everything I owned to travel the world with my
husband. Personal or professional - deadline setting works!

our to do list with things that don't align with our goal too often! An active
action is one that pushes you outside of your comfort zone—and something that
will give you results that push you toward your goal. That is what should be
filling out to do list! (And first you need to know your ONE goal to make
progress on!) Jaime Tardy is founder of EventualMillionaire.com where she has

www.jimbotravels.com Time Management is often the question during an
interview that gets asked the least but once hired, becomes the biggest area of
development a leader will highlight as a concern in their new employee. While
writing "to-do" lists can often help you remember to do your daily tasks, time
management is about productivity. How can you do more in the same amount of
time you have now? I'm a firm believer than you need to ask questions, and be
very clear from the start as to what the expectation is of your boss or the leader
of the project you are working on. Why spin your wheels doing something you
think will be good, or spend extra time researching something, when it is not the
direction the project manager was looking for. Save time by asking the right
questions in the beginning, and this will allow you to challenge the current
mindset if necessary, but ultimately leave that initial meeting on the same page
and clear on what you need to do the first time, rather than the second time
around. I am also a firm believer that prioritization is key. You must decide how
much time each necessary task will take and then prioritize your day on those
time allocations and the importance of each. Keep in mind, just because
something may take 30 minutes and not be as important, it is ok to do that first

knowing it will help free up the rest of the day to work on the more important
stuff. You don't always have to do the most important stuff first, but you must
allocate yourself time to ensure the important stuff gets completed by the
deadline given.
