Focus Your Ambitions with the Lifehacker Hierarchy of Goals. Setting goals is easy, but prioritizing them is hard. Humans suck at properly weighing what we need to achieve our goals. We take on too much, skip steps, and often, as a result, we give up. Once you commit to a framework to prioritize your goals and cut the junk, achieving your goals gets a lot more realistic. Here's one way to do it.P If you're anything like me you have a ton of goals. Consider this a system of life designing that helps you question assumptions and figure out what you really want.
Level 1: The Primary GoalsP SExpand Your primary goals are the base of all other goals—the one or two things you aspire to do before you die. Level 2: Long Term GoalsP Your long term goals are the major goals that are required to get to the primary goals. Level 3: Short Term GoalsP Think of short term goals as weeks or months out. Level 4: Recurring GoalsP Your recurring goals are what you want to do daily/weekly/monthly regardless of what else is going on.

Technology I use on a Daily Basis - updated for this year. In the past, I've written about the technology I use on a daily basis at school. I just saw that Richard Byrne did the same thing on his blog this week, so I decided to update my list with what I'm using these days. All of them are free, except for PowerTeacher (paid for by the district) and my smartphone. 1. Smartphone - I just purchased an HTC Droid Incredible 2 from Verizon. I had been using a Palm/HP Pre+ (and loved it, but HP decided not to release anymore hardware). I check email, Twitter, RSS feeds, my schedule, and lesson plans for the day in the morning and then use it throughout the day as a mobile computer.
I can access all the Google services I use and even edit Office documents on it. 2. 3. 4. 5. iGoogle - I use iGoogle as my start page to keep myself organized. 6. 7a. 7b. There are also Dropbox apps for iPhone, Android, iPad and Blackberry. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. So, you now know what I use for educational technology on a daily basis. Please share your resources too. Home - Thought Asylum. Cloud Productivity | Business and Personal Productivity in the Cloud.
