Divive a sheet of A4 into 4 boxes (line down and line across.) Label Top right Urgent and Important, label top left Urgent Not Important, bttom right Important not Urgent and bottom left Not important and not urgent.

Then write all the tasks into each box (just headings ok) with dates/timescales.

The crucial thing is to focus on Top Right, then decide the top left and bottom right, bottom left you shpuld question if its not important and not urgent why am I bothering?

Though all should come after bottom action so to speak...

But seriously book time into your diary to do things and do not let anything take that time away from you.

Ohh and monkeys, we all carry monkeys - they are our job to deal with, feed and clean etc, but in life other people will ask you to look after their monkey - refuse they must deal with their own monkey

The other trap is doing the stuff u like, even without knowing it, often called firefighting? It is not unknown for some people to do this all the time, and to make everything a firefight, because they enjoy firefigthing, its fun and exciting.

A good website is Big Dog by Don Clark.

Good luck
