We are busy, but are we productive?
It's crazy! Everyone I run in to is running circles around themselves--including me. We are all so busy. It doesn't really seem to matter if you job is outside the home or not. I worked outside the home for almost 40 years. During that time I raised 3 children, did 4 weddings, and was active in our local church. I also did side jobs to give us a little extra money when needed. I was busy, but I still had time to sew and keep up with my children's sports and my favorite television program. BUT NOW---I am working out of my home. You would think things would take on a slower rate, slow coffee in the morning, afternoon breaks to catch an hour of reading, time to really cook. Nope. I am running like a maniac. Thankfully I have my trusty planner to keep me on track.
It's time to reflect on all this. I'm busy, but am I really being productive? I think I could better myself by stepping off the tread mill for a minute and forming a plan.
1. I am going to list a "comfortable" amount of things to accomplish for each day.
2. I am not going to beat myself up if something comes up to prevent accomplishing everything. I don't have to stay up half the night to get crazy things done.
3. Here is going to be the hard thing for me to do: I am going to take a little time each day to do something I enjoy to refresh myself.
I have lots of goals I am working toward in my life and my business. I am going to try this. Maybe I'll post later to let you know if I was successful.
