ACCOMPLISHMENT + OPTIMISM Musts or Options

WHY: by understanding that your Musts are tasks that you have no choice in, and your Options are where you have a choice, you will be likely to make sensible choices. HOW: on the website is an interactive Musts and Options Thinking Tool which will enable you to organise your time well and make weekly adjustments. Time Understandings is another Thinking Tool which will provide you with a clearer picture of what you need to do and when you need to do it.
