I have a “to do” list. It is related to my quarterly goals which are a subset of my 2012 objectives.

Take out a piece of paper and write down a list of everything that interests you. For most that will include exercise, church, family, work, travel, friends, Facebook, TV, radio, video games, neighbors, etc. Put everything on this list that occupies your time throughout a typical month.
