I always put down the goals that I have or want to reach.  This could be in school or in my sporting events or just things in everyday life.  I am a track and field athlete and at the begging of every season I put down my short and long term goals and make sure it is in a spot so that i can see it and always reminding myself of them.  At the dinner table o always have a piece of paper that I put things on that I would like to get done for the day, like do the dishes or finish my laundry.  This is the main writing that complete.  By doing this I get more things done and try to be more organized and become a better person.
