Where did the day go?
Have you ever had a day where you get to the end of it and you know that you have been on the go all day without so much as a second to yourself but at the end of it you are left wondering what you achieved? How can you avoid this happening? Check out my top tips to ensure every day is a productive one!
List Lurkers
Have you got something on your to-do list that has been sitting there for longer than you care to think about? What is it that has stopped you completing it?
You should have an overall to-do list that captures ALL of the things that you would like to do. But it should be divided up – weighing up importance v urgency (eg today, this week, this month, this year, bucket list). It can then be a conscious decision about which items move from the overall list to your TODAY list. As a result you are able to be really clear about where to give your time and energy and end the day with a ‘done’ list.
Big Bang or Small Steps?
Creating new habits can be tough. There are two approaches that are at opposite ends of the spectrum that may help us start and maintain good habits. Depending on the habit you wish to put in place, your personality and the time available a different option may produce a better result. So what can we do to help ourselves successfully put in place whatever habit we have decided we would like to implement?
Procrastination is the thief of time
Most of us start the day with the best of intentions. We know what we need to get done… but getting it done just doesn’t seem to be happening.
We know that we would feel much better at the end of the day if we were able to knock certain items off our to-do list. But right here, right now there suddenly seem to be a million other things we could do. There are lots of different reasons for procrastinating and each one needs a different plan of attack if we are to overcome it. It isn’t just a matter of willpower (although that is helpful).
What did you have for breakfast today?
More than any other meal, most people seem to have pretty much the same thing, at the same time, each and every day. Habits are great for getting the boring, must-do items done as quickly and painlessly as possible. So are there ways that we can increase our chances of sticking to those habits that we really want to instill?
Clean desk… Clear mind?
It is often said that a tidy desk is a tidy mind. There are some though that would say that it shows someone with too much time on their hands.
“You can have it all. Just not all at once.” ~Oprah Winfrey
How do I help?
Natalie Meyer
CEO, All in Good Time
Hello, I am Natalie Meyer, founder of All In Good Time.
Confession time – I like planning, spreadsheets and making lists.
I appreciate that not everyone around me shares this enthusiasm! However, at the same time I get told ‘I don’t know how you keep it all together’ or ‘I wish I could be as organised as you’.
I see and speak to so many women who still have primary responsibility for home and family (sandwich generation – still looking after kids but also needing to care for parents) as well as trying to juggle a career or, increasingly, run their own business.
And somewhere in amongst all that they are also trying to have a personal life as well. There is a lot to keep track of and it doesn’t all neatly fit into clear chunks of the day. There is a need to manage it all flexibly.
I want to share some of my ways of working. I want to help you if you are frustrated and fed up with feeling like you aren’t keeping on top of everything. I want to help you feel more in control, become more productive and give you more time to look after yourself and your dreams.
