Do you have this habit when a chatty friend, colleague or even a family member, who got this juicy topic, and after which you realise the time and have to stay back or stay up late just to finish your important mission?
Do you have this thinking that you have all the time and sooner or later, you realise that you have not done your laundry or other stuffs?
Or you could even have too many things to do and you are so stress that you do abit of each all at once and got lost in between, forgetting where you have stopped. Hey! This have happened to even a very professional multi task woman.
Guess what ladies, today is a topic all about setting your priorities straight. I know, we ladies, especially working mothers have so many things in our minds and we women, are so famous for the ability to multi-task. But, how many women are complaining of so many things to do and so little time? Try to have a mini diary or handbook with you at all times. Just a small one where you can just slip into your pockets or handbag. Each morning or the night before, list down the things you need to do and number them accordingly to which is to be done first. Whenever you got a last minute task, add it in your book and rearrange the numbers again. Just like how you list down your groceries as a reminder or even to avoid overspending of unnecessary items.
If you're at work and you were given loads of things to settle, I would advised if you could just stick one very important task that you have to settle first, on your computer. Too many sticky notes on the PC can be unsightly and confusing. The rest, you can note it in your book. I know we ladies can't resist engaging into a hot conversation. But please remember your priorities, though a short quick one just to take a break is fine.
If we look at this time managing in a positive way, we can in fact control the time instead of the time controlling us. By delaying doing whatever is needed, thinking that you have all the time in the world and taking your own sweet time doing the not so important stuff is what time controlling you means. If you master the art of controlling it instead, you can finish what you HAVE to do and have the rest of the time to do what you WANT to do. Sounds good? Try to work things out and make a little difference in life. Don't let yourself catching up with time. You must learn to get ahead of it instead.
