When, do you want them achieved? Once you have a clear path in your mind, then you can go ahead and think of the things you need to do in order to reach your target.You can identify what to do first by classifying them according to their importance and relevance to your goal, focus yourself in doing the most important things first and make sure you finish them before you go on to your next task.

Prioritizing could be hard sometimes, there are a lot of different factors that will make you lose focus.
