When your computer slows right down and a lot of clicking noise comes from the hard-drive, it's time for a defrag.

Defragmentation is a maintenance process, which in MS Windows you can find under programs /accessories / tools. The program looks through your machine at all files and other bits of information in use, then it takes the pieces and moves them into organized collections where each item will be quicker and easier to find when next needed. Next time you start up your machine, it runs smoother, quieter, faster. Not only that, but disastrous hard-drive failure is much less likely.

It makes sense to maintain your computer like this, so why not de-frag your life too, while you are at it?

We haven't got a convenient program to click on to achieve this, but there is a simple process that you can use instead.

When you have a comprehensive list, prioritize in some manner. You could take a highlighter pen and mark the items that are critical. (If you are tempted to do this with every part, you aren't selecting, just avoiding doing the work of properly considering the importance of each element.)

So be rigorous and choose the things that must be done, not the ones you should or could do.

Now think through when is the right time to tackle these critical issues. Your instinct may be that they all need to be done now. But since that's probably not possible, make a choice. Then enter the items in your diary / agenda / calendar. Include slots of free time too, so that if something takes longer than anticipated it doesn't throw the whole plan off track.

At this point, take a break and clear you mind of all this. When you resume, look at your diary and see what your scheduled task is. That is the only thing you have to concentrate on, forget all the rest.
