Challenging Goals Are Best! The higher your goal, the more you will achieve. Locke and Latham (2002) con- ducted an extensive review of 35 years of research on goal setting in a variety of contexts (i.e., personal, business, academic).

Identify where you are wasting time and cross them off your list. Delegate As and Bs. Where possible, get another person to complete some of your important tasks. . Complete remaining As and Bs yourself. Discover time-savers. Consciously make better use of your time. Eliminate time-wasters. Say "no." Admit that your plate is full, and politely refuse requests that add to your commitments. Keep your finances organized. Exercise. Get enough sleep. Choose New Thoughts.
