Setting Targets

I am implementing a tactic in my work and private life which is proving immensely valuable: setting targets!

I have a lot on at the moment: getting things up-and-running in my new job; looking to sell my house and working on identifying a new, career focused job and advancing my University Transitions Programme for students with Asperger syndrome.

This means quite a bit of "multi-tasking". What has tended to happen before is that I do something, leave it, come back - but only when I'm ready or a third-party has responded. What often happens with the latter is that they either come back belatedly or not at all meaning that I have to chase. I only do that however when it is urgent for me (see Urgency Addiction: http://aspergermanagement.com/urgency-addiction-getting-things-done).

The net result is that things have a tendency to drift and not complete. So, what I have started to do is write lists and re-visit virtually daily. Bit-by-bit I am consequently getting things completed and moving things forward.

Its proving to be a very useful technique!
