Inadequate Inspections Lead to a New World of Education

While having many goals is a good thing, doing too much at once can make you feel overwhelmed. Use the following five-step process to organize your to-do list so you can get it all done. • Make a mess. Make a big pile of all the sticky notes, lists, files, papers, and other items scattered around your office. • Sort and purge. Go through your pile. For each item, ask: Is it still important? Can I get it elsewhere? Is it duplicated? • Organize your list. Look through all your "keep" papers and ideas to decide which goals are truly important to you. • Rank the list in chronological order. Redo your list regarding the order in which you feel you should do things, and add detail about your next steps for each item. • Get going! Tick off the tasks as they're completed. Dr. Joelle K.
