“Putting $10.00 in the bank or talking to your stockbroker about your investment plans are activities that will move you toward your goal.”

In all planning you make a list and you set priorities.

Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now.

Keep it visible, and use it as a guide to action as you go through the day.

You can do an activity. Activities are steps along the way to a goal. Let’s say you desire security.

One of the secrets of getting more done is to make a TO DO List every day.

Review our priorities, ask the question; what’s the best use of our time right now?

You cannot do a goal. Long-term planning and goal-setting must therefore be complemented by short-term planning. This kind of planning requires specifying activities.
