I'd say that what's difficult, by and large, is determining what single goal is most important.

This post came at the right time. I read it yesterday. I had only gotten like 3 tasks done at work that day. I read this post and I wrote down all the tasks that needed to be accomplished on a notepad. I prioritized them by when they were assigned (oldest needed to be finished first). I got about 6 tasks done today. I have 5 tomorrow and I will be completely done and can move on to new tasks.

The reason why I got into this mess was because of procrastination. I kept on pushing the hard tasks back and the tasks kept on piling up. I've been trying to catch up for 3 weeks and still am not finished. Tomorrow I will get all 5 of those tasks done and a few others. Write your goals (tasks) down for the day/week. Prioritize them and start working on them one by one. Don't move onto another task until you are done, unless the task requires some external resource and you have no choice but to wait.

I finished 6 of the tasks today even though I was surfing the web in between tasks. This post helped me get them done. Before I would try to finish all the tasks in one day and would never even come close to finishing them. Don't know why, but when you say you have to finish 3 tasks today. and the rest you can finish tomorrow, you end up finishing the 3 tasks and some of the others.

@NewWorldOrder - If you've got a list of 5-10 things you need to do, stop over analyzing things for a minute and just pick one :) They'll all eventually get done, and unless one of them will start/stop your breathing, you've got nothing to really worry about :)
