Where Is The Start Line?

When you have many things to do at once, where do you start? I will be honest...procrastination is a flaw of mine. Well, that and wanting to do a million things throughout the day. We only have 24 hours, but we have much to accomplish in that little bit of time. 

How do you decide where to start? How do you decide what is most important? 

I have worked out a simple "JUST DO IT" Plan over the years that seems to help.

Step 1: Acknowledge and accept that you may not be able to accomplish everything.
Step 2: Write down everything that needs to be done TODAY, not tomorrow, not the next day.
Step 3: Organize those by order of imporatance.
Step 4: Grab a cup of coffee...or three.
Step 5: Just do it. Do your list no matter how frustrating it is because it has to get done anyways. It will either be now or later. 

Most important of all is to eliminate possible distractions. In all honesty, Steemit was a distraction today because I have finals that need to get done. However, I feel that we should share our experiences with others so that when someone else is in the same boat, they are not alone. 

So, I must now get back to my JUST DO IT plan. I am currently on step 4, but I need more coffee. 

Have a great day! What are your steps or your plans to help in this case? I would love to hear alternatives.

I like the Just Do It plan. I'm off to get some more of today's list done.

Thank you @bigpanda! Thanks for stopping by. I wish you the best on your list!
