• Timeline – for each goal there should be timeframe to be aligned and followed. Always plan your weekly schedule for day today operations. Decide work hours and personal hours with delegation of works very important. Don’t forget to add hours for eating and sleeping. This will help to utilize your day productively. I design my day and week as per the allocated timeline for each activity. Delegating the works I can’t do it works perfect to stick to my timelines.

• Budget/Finance– Business, work, home functions on the money indirectly.
