More ways to simplify your life - Elizabeth Hagen

4. Planning
It's impossible to think we have time to do all that we think we have time to do. This is where prioritization is a key. Write downa ll you think you need to do and then prioritize by A, B, C. A's are things you MUST do. B's are things that you should do, and C's are things that are nice to do. Then, never do a B or C unless the A's are done.

5. Goals
The fastest way to make changes in your life is to set goals. If you don't set goals how will you know where you're going? Se goals using the START method - make them specific, timely, have action steps, be realistic, and be true for you. Write them down in the positive as if they've already happened and look at them 3 times every day.

6. Saying No
Learn to say no. You will achieve nothing if you try to do everything. Be daring and say no to all those things that you really don't want to do. Saying no to the good things leaves room in your life for the GREAT things. If you have trouble saying no - simply answer with this - I have a conflict. That's all you need to say.
