How do you start your day? Do you start your day and wonder what is to be done? Or do you start your day and take things as they come along. There is an unwritten rule that if you do not do what you want to do, then you will do what others will want you to do. This is true in almost all spheres of life. For example, you go to a restaurant with your friend. If you do not order/suggest what you like, then you are on the side that whatever comes your way, you would take it. Instead, set your priorities. Tell what you like. It doesn't mean that you have to fight for it.
The above is just an example to stress the fact that you need to set the tone of the day or the day will set you to its tune. If you have your goal fixed, then you will, in all probability, have your priorities fixed. It would be like, if something you do takes you towards your goal, then you do it. Else it does not come under your priority. When you do goal setting exercise, you also need to set some actions that need to be done to achieve that goal. Once those actions are known, you will need to find out ways to complete them. If you just fix the goal and not look at it or do not think about it, then you are not moving towards your goal. Just thinking for sometime about your goal will give you some ideas on what needs to be done or at least some ways on what you can do to move forward.
Once you have got at least some point to go forward, immediately set that as priority. If you have some other primary work, at least give some time to do it. If not first priority, it can always be your next priority. If you keep a list of things that need to be done, you will definitely do it once you get free out of your regular activities. Setting your priorities before sleeping night before or early in the morning before you start your day will give you an amazing head start to your day.
