On Sunday I plan my week. I set my personal and business goals and look over my priority tasks.

I tend to schedule the tasks of high priority in the beginning part of the week just in case something comes up I still have time during the week to complete them. I utilize Toodledo, which really keeps me on top of my tasks.

Do you have any particular system in place? What seems to work best for you?

Another good system is Skoach. I really liked it but it wasn't doing for me what I was looking for at the time. I might revisit it now that I'm starting this business and just use it for that instead of using it to manage my personal life.

It takes project management a step further and will take the list of tasks you have for that project, color code them by priority, and with one click it will put them on your schedule for based on wherever you have blocks of time open.

Its actually a program designed for adults with ADD. lol

Ahh for me, it's been done mentally. I'd keep the list in my head but it's not always effective.

But now that my business is picking up, it's a good idea for me to look into toodledoo and Skoach. But until then, I had been using Microsoft Outlook Task but lightly.

I do tend to procrastinate sometimes and those kinds of tools are helpful. Sometimes, before beginning each day, I make a schedule of what I need to do that day. I'll check out Toodledoo and Skoach. Thanks guys!

I use a desk diary and Outlook for all my planning. Appointments of time important things go in Outlook, my phone calls, things to do and appointments written in my large desk diary - I can cross things off in the diary.

I am going to check out Skoach. I have been going back and forth between computer, pda and notebook. I really like to be able to write things down and cross it off. I guess I will have to have a hybrid system.
