The Small Tasks

Are you forgetting the small tasks?
Many times I have talked about goals, goal setting, to do list and one of the things we discuss is getting the important things done first. However, sometimes we get so caught up in getting the important things we will let the small things fall through the cracks which can hurt us in the long run.
Along with setting regular goals I also have a list of tasks that need to be done either on a one time or reoccurring schedule. The nice thing about having this list is that I can incorporate the tasks into my goal setting for the day to ensure that they get done.
For those of you that use Microsoft Outlook, you can use the task section that is located within the email program. With Outlook you can put the priority of the task, when it needs to be done, a percentage of progress of the task, and can categorize them. Of course there is other programs you can use but since I already have Outlook it works for me.
See the MyOrganizedBiz blog for more ideas on getting the small tasks done.
