"The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities."
~ Stephen Covey
With so many things to do it can seem impossible trying to figure out how to get all of it done. Well, if you can schedule everything into a weekly or monthly calender, you will be one step closer to accomplishing the impossible.
Kids have soccer practice next Saturday? Schedule it!
Big test coming up? Schedule it!
Tags due on the car? Schedule it!
Tags due on the car? Schedule it!
Birthday party and gift still to buy? Schedule it!
Once you make this schedule, stay on track! If you are taking the time to write everything down then take the time to look at it and follow through with daily deadlines so it will keep the craziness to a minumum.
Helpful hint: Color Code Everything = Sports, School, Bills, Parties
This will make finding the "next" one easier. Think of it as a modern day Candyland for the real game of Motherhood!
Hey Ashley, This i had some very good tips even for me on just being a college student because i sometimes have a hard time follwing my agenda sometimes. Even tough you have the schedual, is it hard to stay on track even by reading the schedual? I liked the post because it was easy to understand and learn new tips. I cant wait till the next post.
ReplyDeleteHi Brian,
ReplyDeleteYes, even though a schedule has been made it is still sometimes difficult to stay on track. A helpful tip is a daily to-do list. Either make it in the morning, or what I do, the night before. Writing down everything you need to do for that day is a lot easier then looking at the whole month of things to do. Then you can cross things off your list as you get them done. Also, remember anything you do not get done for the day, put it on the top of the list for the next day.
This will help make sure everything gets done and in a timely manner.
