I like to keep a light journal of tasks I accomplish every day. I think of this as goals in reverse. It gives me a sense of accomplishment, similar to achieving a goal, but at the same time allows me to focus on the present, as the author suggests. Looking back on the journal also allows me to put the present and the future in a well-defined perspective, which helps me give the time estimates that business types inevitably require.
