Pick your goal and stick to it.

]]> 45287 2 30 Tip Writing down your goal and your proposed completion date in your PDA — instead of on paper — makes it easier to access, revise, and share with friends.

]]> 45288 3 39 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/32978/39.jpg Identify the smaller tasks Identify the smaller tasks you’ll need to complete. A single large goal becomes much more manageable when you turn it into a lot of smaller goals.

]]> 45289 4 48 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/32978/48.jpg Be realistic Whatever your goal is, be realistic about your plan, as well as the amount of time you’ve given yourself to complete it. We know you want to see results right now, but overloading your plate will just make you anxious.

]]> 45290 5 62 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/32978/62.jpg Prioritize Prioritize your tasks. Rank each one based on its urgency and the order in which it should be accomplished. As you complete tasks, re-assign the rankings.

]]> 45291 6 73 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/32978/73.jpg Schedule your tasks Schedule tasks in your PDA. Assign times, dates, and priority to as many tasks as you can. Set reminders in advance, so you have plenty of warning.

]]> 45292 7 85 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/32978/85.jpg Streamline Streamline the other stuff on your to-do list so you have more time to focus on your goal. For recurring items like monthly bills, sign up online for automatic payment. Use mobile banking to save trips to your local teller. And for other repeating appointments or errands, set chiming reminders on your PDA.

]]> 45293 8 107 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/32978/107.jpg Continue your education Don’t be afraid to seek help. Continue your education with an online class, and do readings and homework at your convenience.

]]> 45294 9 117 Tip Some classes have videos you can download to your PDA or MP3 player and watch whenever you’re free.

]]> 45295 10 123 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/32978/123.jpg Let people know Send an email telling your friends and family about your goal. Getting the word out not only locks you into seeing things through; it can open up your options.

]]> 45296 11 135 Tip When sending out a mass email, Bcc all email addresses.

]]> 45297 12 140 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/32978/140.jpg Reward yourself Each time you accomplish a task, give yourself a break and a reward. Showering yourself with little presents — and some free time to enjoy them — is a great way to toast your success!

]]> 45298 13 151 Fact For years, astronauts on the International Space Station have used PDAs to send email and keep track of tasks.
