Simply do one major thing from your to-do list before you do anything else each day.  That means before you check email or phone messages, before you do the social rounds at work or stop by the water cooler.  Do not pass Go, do not collect $200, do not start playing Monopoly or Angry Birds.   Do not do anything else until you've moved ahead a major project or goal in your life.

As we seemingly have more and more to do (and the Earth frustratingly keeps giving us only 24 hours per day), time management becomes a hotter and hotter topic.  The phrase "time management" itself makes it sound like a very complex process, perhaps even one that will turn out to steal away even more of your time.  But Craig Ballantyne's tip proves that time management doesn't always have to be complex—simply decide that you will tackle one of your biggest to-do items before anything else can get in the way, then make it happen.  Check out Craig's video below for more.
