Getting ourselves better organized

Do you have trouble finding things?
Do you seem to hide them from yourself?
Last week, I coached a group of 26 writers.
Most admitted problems organizing their work.
This is common for highly creative people.
Creative people are compulsive.
They fly by the seat of their pants.
To organize our work, we must organize ourselves.
One place to start is with your daily journal.
Write in it your daily "to do" list.
Call it: "What will advance my goals today."
List them in order of priority. You must prioritize.
Put the big frogs — the high payoff projects — first.
That way the important stuff will get done.
The busy work can wait until tomorrow.
The biggest frog becomes A1.
The smaller frogs become A2 and A3.
The after-lunch frogs become B1 and B2.
Try it. It makes even frogs taste better.
Now I have a visual success strategy for you.
To think like a millionaire, click here.
Tomorrow I’ll share a fantastic organizing secret.
See you then.
