From the Paper:

"When setting realistic time limits it is important to set reachable goals that can be accomplished within a set time. When preparing a daily list of activities that need to be accomplished it is also important to prepare a time schedule for each of the activities. It is important to plan enough time for each the activities and to tackle the goals at the same time everyday which can make it easier to follow the schedule and to maintain an active approach for each of the goals. It is also a good idea to schedule some time for flexibility or in other words to unscheduled some time because it can be very easy to over schedule your daily activities. Procrastination is the biggest problem when managing time. When rethinking a decision that has already been made can waste time, when you make a decision it is important to move on to the next project."
