Just as you would not be successful in building a home without a set of blue prints, it's doubtful you would be successful in achieving any significant goal without an action plan. 就像你没有一套蓝图你就不会成功的建立一个家，没有一个行动计划，不能确定你将实现任何重要的目标。

A well-developed action plan clarifies everything you need to do to achieve your goal,it outlines a prioritized sequence of steps, and serves as a method for measuring your progress. 一份完整的计划阐明你需要做的一切来达到你的目标，概述了优先顺序的步骤,作为一种方法来测量你的进步。

I also have a post on this subject that will help you understand how to put together an action plan. 我也发过一个帖子是关于如何制定行动计划的。

12.Focus on your goals. 专注于你的目标。

If you struggle with staying focused and on task, start each day by reviewing your goals. 如果你保持与专注作斗争的任务,开始每天回顾你的目标。

Take the time to create a collage of pictures to visualize the life you can experience if you achieve your goals. 花时间创建一个拼贴照片来想象你可以体验的生活如果你实现了你的目标。

This powerful technique will keep you motivated and focused on doing the correct activities. 这一强大的技术能激发你的动力并且让你专注于做正确的活动。

13.Structure your time according to your goals. 根据你的目标安排你的时间。

Your time should always be spent doing things that help you achieve your goals and bring fulfillment to your life. 你的时间应该花在那些能帮助你实现目标和给你的生活带来充实感的事情上。

Plan your days and determine how you will use your time most productively to accomplish your goals. 按照你的目标，规划你的时间并且决定如何最大化的利用自己的时间。

14.Take pride in what you do. 为你所做的事感到自豪。

When you complete a task with excellence, you not only take pride in what you do, but you also save time by not having to repeat the activity. 当你出色的完成一个任务,你不仅为你所做的事感到自豪,而且你也为不需要重复的活动节约了时间。

You will also find that people's respect for you will grow. 你还会发现人们对你的尊重将得到提高。

15.Keep a To-Do List. 列出要做的事情。

There is no time-management tip more important than keeping a prioritized daily To-Do List. 保持日常优先待办事项清单比时间管理技巧更重要。

It removes the guesswork from how to spend your time and with whom to spend it. 它消除了你如何花费你的时间以及和谁一起花费时间的猜测。

A To-Do List helps reduce stress, clarifies what you should or shouldn't be doing, and keeps you from forgetting things. 一个待办事项清单有助于减少压力,澄清你应该或不应该做什么,以及让你忘记某些事情。
