It's a very good question John and I would have said that I don't, however the more I think about it the more I come to the conclusion that I actually do, it's just that it is more of a subconcious "thing" and happens as more of a "reflex" action than a planned event(s). There were the odd occasions when, especially during my military career, when I had to set myself goals to both prioritise and achieve tasks but this was at the behest of my military masters and "failure" wasn't an option (as you will know). Perhaps this is why I don't deliberately set myself goals or targets but tend to "play it by ear"! more often than not!!
