Managing your time refers to planning life in such a way as to utilize the hours as efficiently and effectively as possible. Not just efficiently, which refers to doing things in the best possible way, but also effectively, which involves spending time on the best possible things. What’s best for you may not be what’s best for your clients, and vice versa.
As a part of this process, people should visualize the future they want and then take the necessary action in the present in order to make that vision a reality. Their goals are simply snapshots of the future they visualize.
These snapshots are then expressed in writing and entered in the goals section of their planner as a constant reminder of where they are headed. So in my opinion, a planner must have a place to record goals since goals are an integral part of planning. I also believe that their mission statement should be recorded in their planner as well. It reminds them of why they are in business. Just as goals determine what gets entered into the weekly planning section, so the mission statement determines what gets written in the goals section. Their goals must be compatible with their mission.
Finally, blocks of time are scheduled in their planner to actually work on those goals. Goal-related tasks and activities, the true priorities, should never be relegated to a “To Do” list.
