Years ago while in the three year course at the School of Metaphysics, this technique was call a 10-Most Wanted List.
Here it is again, presented for your consideration as a way to understand how you attract things to you, a way to set priorities, and to go from Believing to Knowing.

by Brian Tracy

THE SEVEN-STEP FORMULA FOR ACHIEVING GOALS:
There
are seven simple steps you can follow to set and achieve goals. There
are more complex and detailed goal-achieving methodologies, but the
Seven Step Method will enable you to accomplish ten times more than you
have ever accomplished before, and far faster than you can imagine.
(1) Decide exactly what you want. Be specific. If you want to increase your income, decide upon a specific amount of money rather than just "make more money."
(2) Write it down. A goal that is not in writing is like smoke; it drifts away and
disappears. It is unsubstantial and useless. It has no force, effect or
power. But a written goal becomes something that you can touch, read
and modify if necessary.
(3) Set a deadline for your goal. Pick a reasonable time period and write down the rate at which you want
to achieve it. If it is a big goal, set a final deadline and then set
sub-deadlines or interim steps between where you are today and where
you want to be in the future.
A deadline serves as a
"forcing system." Just as you often get more done when you are under
the pressure of a specific deadline, your subconscious mind works
faster and more efficiently when you have decided that you want to
achieve a goal by a specific time.
The rule is: "There are no unrealistic goals; there are only unrealistic deadlines."
What
do you do if you don't achieve your goal by your deadline? Simple. You
set another deadline. A deadline is a "guestimate." Sometimes you will
achieve your goal before the deadline, sometimes on the deadline, and
sometimes after the deadline.
(4) Make a list of everything you can think of that you could possibly do to achieve
your goal. Henry Ford said, "The biggest goal can be accomplished if
you break it down into enough small steps." Make a list of the
obstacles and difficulties you will have to overcome, both external and
internal, to achieve your goal.
Make a list of the additional knowledge and skills you will require to achieve your goal.
Make a list of the people whose cooperation and support you will require to achieve your goal.
Make
a list of everything you can think of that you will have to do, and
then add to this list as new tasks and responsibilities occur. Keep
writing until your list is complete.
Napoleon Hill once
said, "The most common reason that people fail to achieve their goals
is because they do not make new plans to replace the old ones when the
situation changes."
(5) Organize the list by both sequence and priority.
A
list of activities organized by sequence requires that you determine
what you need to do first, what you need to do second, and what you
need to do later on.
A list organized by priority enables you to determine what is more important and what is less important.
Sometimes
sequence and priority are the same, but often they are not. For
example, if you want to start a particular kind of business, the first
item in order of sequence might be purchasing a book or enrolling in a
course on the type of business.
But what is most important
is your ability to develop a business plan based on complete market
research. This will provide the information needed to gather the
appropriate resources to launch the business.
(6) Take action on your plan immediately. The difference between winners and losers in life is simply that
winners take the first step. They are action-oriented. They're willing
to take action with no guarantee of success. They're willing to face
failure and disappointment. But they're always willing to take action.
(7) Do something every day that moves you in the direction of your major goal. This is the key
behavior that will guarantee your success. Seven days a week, 365 days
a year, do something, do anything that moves you at least one step
closer to the goal that is most important to you at the time.
When
you do something every day toward the direction of your goal, you
develop momentum. This momentum, this sense of forward motion,
motivates you, inspires you and energizes you. As you gain momentum, it
is easier to take even more steps toward your goal. In no time at all,
you will have developed the discipline of setting and achieving your
goals. It soon becomes easy and automatic. You develop the habit and
the discipline of working towards your goals all the time.

In the 10-Most Want List;
You would do same as above, and list things, then once a day read the list, then let it go. If you change your mind to what is more important, move that to the top of the list.
