Take Back Your Time
May 9th, 2008
I decided I am on over load. I have misplaced my notes from the NAPO conference in Reno, I go to a room and forget what I was going for and I have a new computer with new programs that I am trying to learn all at once and it just isn’t working.
I have a plan to get my time back and my mind back. I am not sure where they went but I have a plan. When I was in the doctor’s office (for allergies) yesterday I wrote down what I wanted to accomplish that day and then I numbered them in the order of their importance.
If I am having issues I am suspect you may be in the same boat as I am. Good thing we aren’t always here at the same time or not all the time.
1.Write a to -do list, cross the task off when done. Separate lists into a. Things to do and b. Appointments and c. Fun things to do. Do one fun thing and do a must do thing; rotate between the two to help stay motivated to do what you have to do. Or maybe do three must do and then one fun project.
2.Organize or clean up as you go. Wipe the counter as you cook, put things in the dishwasher rather than in the sink. Put things where they belong rather than piling them on the counter.
3.When you are in a room and things need to go to a different room stock pile them in a basket, bag or box and then take them all at once. The point is to save time.
4.We don’t have to do everything for everyone. Learn to say no and say it. Your time, family and well being are important.
By the way I got eight out of 13 things accomplished. But then I also got a zillion of other things done too. I decided to take advantage of the fact that tomorrow (now today) would be here and I could work on the tasks then. But it was such a good feeling to see my progress.
How about you? Do you ever feel you are working in circles getting nothing you want to get done actually done? Please share
