When you plan a goal, or begin any project that is likely to spin out of control, don’t just decide what you DO. Also decide what you are committed to NOT doing. What are your likely time-wasters? How do you let projects get too complex? Where are you likely to spend too much time on details that don’t matter? For example, does that internal document really need to be SO perfectly formatted and proofread? Too clean your house for the party, do you really need to reorganize the closet no-one will see? Just say NO and get things done in time and without stress.
