1. A goal is a planned-for event
2. When a goal is valued it becomes a priority
3. When goals are valued together prioritizing is taking place
4. Prioritizing is the process of determining the precedence of events
5. What are the highest priorities in my life? Of these priorities, which do I value the most?

Pyramid:

Top: Daily Task List (Productivity Point)
Middle: Intermediate goals (break down into tasks that eventually appear on a daily task list)
Middle: Long-range goals (1: we tend to move to our comfort zone 2: to reach a goal, we must leave our comfort zone)
Foundation: Values (1: identify governing values 2: prioritize the values 3: write a clarifying statement for each—what would I cross the I-beam for?)

Mechanics:

1. Use only one calendar
2. Place detail in your planner
3. Commit to planning every day
4. Use parentheses to point you anywhere
5. Use monthly index
6. Use master-task list

Your day-planner is the physical manifestation of your time-line
