The Best Daily Goal Setting System Available

If you don't set goals, then you're not moving forward.  Start setting them.

I read a book a few weeks ago called 'The Unemployed Millionaire', written by Matt Morris.  It's fantastic and I strongly recommend you all go buy it today.  Today I'm going to be focusing on a goal setting system that Matt talks about in his book which I've been using since and it has proved to be so productive.  Here's a step by step guide to creating your daily goals, the Matt Morris way!

1) Before you go to bed, make a list of all the things you want to get done tomorrow.  Don't go crazy, be realistic but also make sure not to give yourself to an easy-a-ride.  Example:

• Pay money into the bank
• Practice meditating for 30 minutes
• Write 5 blog posts
• Pick up some bread
• Work out for 60 minutes
• Attend meeting with business advisor 

2) Now that you have your list, you need to categorise them into A,B, or C.  If the action HAS to be achieved tomorrow, then it is an A priority.  If it'd be good if the action did get completed tomorrow then categorise it as a B priority.  And finally anything which doesn't really have to be done tomorrow, but it would just be a bonus if it did get finished, categorise it as a C priority.  Let's take a look at our list now:

• A) Attend meeting with business advisor
• A) Pay money into bank
• B) Write 5 blog posts
• B) Work out for 60 minutes
• C) Pick up some bread
• C) Practice meditating for 30 minutes

3)  Okay, so now we have a better idea of what really needs to be done tomorrow.  Now all we have to do is place each group of priorities in order of importance, with 1 being the most important, and then so on.  Here's our list now:

• A1) Attend meeting with business advisor
• A2) Pay money into bank
• B1) Work out for 60 minutes
• B2) Write 5 blog posts
• C1) Practice meditating for 60 minutes
• C2) Pick up some bread

4)  So now all your tasks for tomorrow are completely in order of importance.  Tomorrow, you should try and complete the tasks in their order of importance, meaning everything that HAS to be done, will be.  If you plan your time, then plan in your activities in order of importance, again assuring that you will complete the vital tasks.
