When it comes right down to it, I think there are two simple things you can do to achieve goals:

1) Decide what the ultimate goal is.
2) Decide what the NEXT STEP is towards achieving that goal and DO THE NEXT STEP within the next "x" number of days..

As long as you are continually working on the next step, you WILL make progress on your goals.

If you haven't identified the next step and thus never work on it, that's where days become weeks become months with no progress being made on your goals.

Also, don't worry if there are lots of things you want to get done. Write them all down and assign dates to them. Think about realistic timeframes and the priority. What order do you want to do them in? Which ONE is the most important to you or the most beneficial right now? That's the one you will focus on next. The others have been recorded and can be returned to in the future.

By identifying the next steps, you actually might find (as I often do) that you can work on multiple goals at one time by completing one step towards each per month, for example.
