David. This is well explanatory. Thanks for breaking it down. I believe if we approach things bit by bit. We will get more things done.

I beleive that everyone has their own way of planning their tasks – whatever they are comfotable with.

Yes this kind of micro-planning had helped me alot. At the end of the day when I tick off the things that are completed, I feel a sense of accomplishment!

It reduces alot of stress too.

Well that one is sounding very time consuming and any middle layer removed you will have to plan again for such goal.

I just want to keep things as simple as I can without driving any kind of confusion. I divide my plan in three phase. Long one, middle one and small one and according to that I set the goal in monthly basis and than set the plan for everyday.

At the end of every month I judge my position.

Whoa – these must be very extensive to-do lists! Do you write them down on paper or keep it digitally?

I find that I'm much more likely to achieve my big picture goals if I hand-write it. It makes it instantly more personal to see it in my own handwriting.
