What specific objectives are to be achieved?
Short-term goals should be set for the next 6 to 12 months, but need to be related to long- term goals. To manage time effectively, answer five major questions about these goals:
1. What specific objectives are to be achieved?
2. What specific activities are necessary to achieve these objectives?
3. How much time is required for each activity?
4. Which activities can be planned and scheduled for concurrent action, and which must be planned and scheduled sequentially?
5. Which activities can be delegated to staff?
