List all your jobs for the week.
Do it at the end of the week or before the next week starts.
Categorize tasks as big | medium | small
Prioritize tasks separately in each category from most important and urgent to least important.
Be sure to make it a list of actions and steps you do to complete the job.
Break the more extensive projects into manageable steps.

NEXT Make Your daily list from your weekly list

Set aside the weekly list and focus on the day
Work on the Big Task for your first 90 minutes
After you finish your day, you can reference your weekly list to plan the next day.
When you finish work, move any items left undone to your list for the next day.
Stick to the plan and you’ll be more productive.

Here are some fundamental concepts that will help to be better at planning and organizing:
Have a specific plan with clear objectives.
Organize your projects into interim steps with deadlines to ensure you are advancing on time and target.
Create an action plan based on the interim steps.

Accurately plan for the resources to execute your plans, make a work schedule, and convey deadlines.
Be productive with your own time.
Accurately evaluate the time you need to do tasks. Study to stay knowledgeable of things that impact your undertaking.
Maintain useful records.

That's it for the 135 rule. I hope you have great success in your future.
