Is it on the LIST?

This is ME...
ALL-THE-TIME!

Being pulled in multiple directions...  multiple businesses and multiple projects...

...the only way to maintain sanity these days is to make a list the night before.

Consider how a TO-DO list helps:

  1. FORGETFUL? With an aging brain- paper doesn't forget!  Sometimes you just need a little help- even ONE word on your list can remind you of a project that is sitting stagnate.
  2. WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT?  Again, just making a to-do list can help jump-start an efficient day!  Make it work for you by prioritizing.
  3. SHORT ON TIME? Writing all activities that you need to do allows you to save time; make more efficient use of your time by grouping like activities together ((ie all phone calls, emails, errands run in UPS fashion (in directional order & all right turns!)...)) 
  4. NEED VALIDATION? How liberating is it to mark off a task completed?!  Or, if items are NOT marked off, open your eyes and figure out why and revise and rectify!
  5. NEED A CLEAN SLATE?  YOU have control; each day you make a new list- reorganize it, recreate it, make it work for you! 
I am finding that I put too much on my daily list.. so I end up writing on the new day's list "SEE THURSDAY"!   This is not working!  I need to be more realistic of what I can get accomplished in a day, and create a NEW LIST- of projects, ideas, or make a list for each business.

AND try to remember to MAKE IT A GOOD DAY;
Enjoy what you do, or get on a new boat!
