I am just about two weeks into this blog, and that’s how
long it took for the schedule to slip. My goal, my DIRECTIVE, was to post on
Tuesdays and Thursdays. Without fail. My first post was on a Friday, but that
was just to get started. Then I posted on Tuesday, Thursday, Tuesday…..and now
it’s coming up on Friday. And why am I late? Because I ran out of time.
It’s not that I don’t know how to manage my time. I’ve read
all the articles and even gone to classes. I know the traditional strategies
and rules. Some of them I can follow:
-Plan each day with a to-do list, and prioritize that list.
-Break large tasks into smaller tasks.
-Say no to nonessential tasks.
But there are a few rules that I just can’t seem to make
stick:
-Limit distractions. I suspect that means things like checking
e-mail every 10 minutes, ditto for Facebook. Also playing with the cat (I work
mostly at home).
-Get plenty of sleep, eat a healthy diet and exercise
regularly. You’re kidding, right? Who’s got time for that?
-Evaluate how you’re spending your time by keeping a diary
of everything you do for three days. Honestly, I just don’t want to face that
one. I think I know the results, and they aren’t pretty.
If I can get a grip on those last three items, I’m sure this
blog will be filled with uplifting, informative and educational content, posted in a timely manner, going
forward. I promise.
Wait, what’s that cat up to now? Hey kitty kitty…..
