5 most important things for YOU to do today

I have been struggling lately with getting things done. I bounce aimlessly from one subject to another.

Here is an idea my wise mom (yes I am still a moma's boy) gave me to help me get things done:

Early in the morning (or the night before) make a list of the 5 most important things you need to accomplish for that day. Then focus all your efforts on just getting those 5 things done first. Everything else kind of just fits in the corners. It is that Rocks and Sand in a jar concept. If you put the sand in first you will never fit the rocks. Likewise, when I spend my time on my hobbies first, I never get what is most important done.

Try it out and see what you think. Let me know how it works.
