Success is nothing but a systematic application of efforts. Our activities should have an inbuilt rhythm and structure. There should be consistency, continuity, and focus. If we can ensure these parameters, we can accomplish anything without any last minute rush. We will discover that we have more time than we perceived. A well thought out plan is the pre requisite for achieving any super ordinate goal. The bigger and more difficult the goal, the better should be the quality of our planning. In fact it is all a matter of discipline.

You can plan your activities on the following pattern:

1. Things that you should do on a daily basis: e.g. reading, exercising, going to office, checking your in-box of the computer, etc. You should also have a time frame for each activity as to how much time you want to read, how much you want to exercise, etc.
2. Things that you should do on a weekly basis: e.g., meeting people, checking how much progress you have made in your long term goals, checking on some important projects on hand etc.
3. Things to be done on a monthly basis: e.g. paying your phone bills, balancing your bank passbook, etc.
4. Things that you should do every six months: e.g. checking your progress on the medium term plans, renewing old contacts, developing new contacts, etc.
5. Things that you should do on a yearly basis: e.g. renewing your insurance policy, going for a master health check up, deciding for the investment for the year ahead, arriving at your balance sheet of income and expenditure, greeting people on their birth days and wedding days, etc.
6. Things to be done at some other periodicity: for example renewing passport, painting your house or doing minor maintenance work for your house or office.

You need to know that that if the above activities are not properly planned, they may land you in a last minute crisis and tension. You should remember that nothing would be done automatically unless we plan and initiate a systematic action plan.
