I also split my tasks up into "Rocks" (big tasks) and "Pebbles" (unsurprisingly, small tasks). I don't think I can manage more than one rock per day, and I need to try and get that done in the morning rather than do all my pebbles and then feel overwhelmed by the rock!</p> <p>But it was great to have a sense for how my week is going to pan out. I may also start looking at monthly goals, particularly for the long term biz dev stuff which is all too easy to put off. I over-planned this week, and next week is horribly busy so I need to make sure I don't over-plan that too. But it's good to have a shape for the week, and to be able to not worry that you're neglecting something important.</p> I found this first week rather tough to plan for because I rather unexpectedly got lurghi, and so got a lot less done than hoped.
