If you’ve ever wondered how some people manage to get so much done in a day, it often comes down to the way they use their time.

Strategic thinking is quite simple, all it requires is to rationally, and realistically think about the situation that you’re in, taking in the variables that could change it.

We’ve spoken before about the importance of goals, and how they keep us motivated and moving forward within our life. But how do you set goals up? Each of us will have different things that we want to achieve in our lifetimes, and at different points in our lifetimes too.
