Time management for the overworked: Make a tentative daily schedule. When it’s time to start something, set a silent timer (not one that ticks/clicks the whole time). Cell phone works best. Set it for the time allotted, minus 5 minutes (or however many minutes the snooze is on the alarm you’re using). Do your thing, and when the timer goes off, set the snooze and you have that much time to finish up. Then move on to the next thing. I know, I know… easier said than done! But it’s worth a try.
At day job, time management is not a problem. I had the infamous To Do List divided into A, B and C items. Worked great until a C project I didn’t like to do had to be moved to A. Unfortunately TO Do List has never worked for me at home, except for errand running. The one thing I have learned is that family should come before dishes, laundry and mowing the yard! We get so busy we forget how important they are. Brings to mind the old song “The Cat’s in the Cradle.”
Laura, It’s ALL easier said than done. The biggest part of my problem is finding ten more things I want or need to do on my way to the “next step.” ;)
Mom, I actually use your method at work and am trying to incorporate it on these blogs. It’s sad when you begin procrastinating your hobbies.
