Goal Setting & Getting Things Done Learn how to identify and remove distractions right out of the gate. Email, phone call, your office environment, and good old “clutter” are slowing you down and will continue to do so until you address them. Learn to use “gamification” – identify tasks, assign points, assign reward, and keep score if you plan to win this battle! When creating a “to do” list, learn how to keep “chunk, block, and tackle” in mind as your main strategy for getting things done.
