Do something. Do anything. An average plan vigorously executed is far better than a brilliant plan on which nothing is done. For you to achieve any kind of success, execution is everything.

STEP SIX: Take action on your plan immediately. 

Think on paper. When you write your goal down, you crystallize it and give it tangible form. You create something that you can touch and see. Unwritten goals lead to confusion, vagueness, misdirection and numerous mistakes.

STEP TWO: Write it down

A goal or decision without a deadline has no urgencyWithout a definite deadline accompanied by the assignment or acceptance of specific responsibilities for completion, you will naturally procrastinate and get very little done.

STEP THREE: Set deadlines/ sub-deadlines. 

As you think of new activities, add them to your list. Keep building your list until it is complete. A list gives you a visual picture of the larger task or objective. It gives you a track to run on. It dramatically increases the likelihood that you will achieve your goal as you have defined it and on schedule.

STEP FOUR: Make  a list. 

Keep pushing forward. Once you start moving, keep moving. Don't stop.This decision, this discipline alone, can dramatically increase your speed of goal accomplishment and boost your personal productivity.

STEP SEVEN: Do Something Every Single Day. 

With a written goal and an organized plan of action, you will be far more productive and efficient than someone who is carrying his goals around in his mind.

STEP FIVE: Organize the list into a plan

The formula consists of seven simple steps. Any of these steps can double and triple your productivity.
