The Small Tasks
Filed in archive Personal Development on October 13, 2008
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.

Lists are what I need to make sure that everything gets done. However, to try to be as "green" as possible, I write my lists on the back of used envelopes and keep it in the back pocket of my jeans so I have it with me at all times!

Great article.
I use the checklists section from http://www.Gtdagenda.com
to keep track of these small tasks that need to be done at recurring times. And I keep my Goals and Projects in the same application.

Excellent content - as you always provide and inspires me to come again and again. You are on my RSS reader now so I can read more from you down the road.
By the way, there is one more valuable resource I’d like to share with others readers. It’s called Secrets of Successful Traders that teaches you…
How to turn $1000 into $ 1MILLION in 5 years or less using nothing but...
• a brokerage account (so that you can trade),
• $1000 in a pocket
• And one 'jealously guarded' strategy that won't even require you to spend 20 minutes a day.

Here’s our market view on American stock market for 10th October, 2008
The stock market has collapsed - since Sept. 19 the DJIA is down 25% and the S&P 500 is down 28% and down 42% from a year ago.
How can this happen so quickly and so dramatically when so many good things have occurred? Oil is down to $82 a barrel; interest rates are very low; the dollar is up; valuation levels are extremely attractive among many blue chip stocks.
What's the real problem? The problem that is killing the stock market is a lack of hope about the future.
Hope springs from optimism that is based on facts and history. Look at the history of America and really all of mankind. Life is full of setbacks and problems - that's just the deal. But this too shall pass, as all scary periods have.
Doomsayers have been around forever and their batting average is zero. Buying stock is based on hope - hope for the future. If one doesn't have hope, they shouldn't be in this business.
So what is the best service we, as professionals, can provide for our clients?
First, discuss the fact that we are dealing with serious problems but it is not at all like 1929. The Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department are doing many things to restore confidence in the financial system. There is global coordination in attacking the problem, which is lack of confidence.
Tell your clients to look at history of our great nation and what has happened since 1776 when we faced very serious problems. The stock market actually rose steadily about six months after Pearl Harbor and until the end of WWII even though the outcome was not at all clear for several years.
No one knows when the stock market will bottom and a new bull will commence. We do know that stocks and mutual funds offer the best values we have seen since Black Monday, Oct. 19, 1987.
Almost all Americans have hope about the future of our nation, but they need help to control their normal fears.
