Here's a simple 5-step plan to help you organize each day:

1. Make a TO DO list. Make a list of the things you have to do tomorrow, the evening before. Prioritize and organize each item in the sequence that it should be accomplished. Consolidate similar tasks together. When you wake up in the morning, you'll have a clear-cut guide detailing everything that must be done.

2. Be careful about getting diverted. Very often, a schedule gets thrown off track due to distraction. If you find that you constantly get off track, set your phone timer to sound every 30 minutes. Every time it sounds, be sure you're working on what you originally said you would. If you're not, stop what you're doing and get back on schedule. Most distractions are not emergency situations.

3. Call before you leave. If you have an appointment during the day, always call to confirm before you leave your home or office. This will ensure that the person you're meeting did not forget about the appointment and you won't waste your time driving to that appointment for nothing...or be forced to wait.

4. Check off items as you complete them. Every time you finish something, cross it off your To Do List. This will give you a sense of accomplishment throughout the day.

5. Do a final check. At the end of the day, take a look at your list. How many items were you able to accomplish? Are there only 1-2 things left undone, or many? If there were just a few undone, simply move them to tomorrow's To Do List. If there were many undone, and you worked diligently on everything all day, then you probably had too many things on your list to begin with. Re-think how much you can possibly do in a given day. Remember, you only have 24 hours, and you should be using a third of those to sleep!
