I think the most effective and creative solution to stay in touch with (and reach) your goals is to set proper goals in the first place: http://peakbusinesscoaching.com/how-to-set-highly-...

The next step is to take your BIG goals and break them down into daily actions. For example, if you want to make $10,000 a month in your business, that's $2,500 a week or $500 a day. How many leads and how many clients is that for you? What are the marketing actions that need to be done on a daily or weekly basis to reach those numbers? Set your success formula and follow it on a daily basis. Calendar and highly prioritize the business development activities so they don't get lost in your "busyness".
