So Much to Do

You have undoubtedly said this to yourself, if not once, many times.  The expectations you have for yourself are high, yet there doesn’t seem to be enough time to get things done.     Two words for you:

Priority (what do you value most)  and Delegate.

Let’s talk “priority” first.   The question you must ask yourself is “What is important to me, what are my values?”  I know you may be thinking “WHAT is She talking about?” just listen for a moment- That which is most important to you is reflected in everything you do, the quality and the amount of time it takes you to complete… So go ahead and answer the question.   What do you value?  What is important to you?  Make a list and then prioritize the list.  Put a circle around your top 3 values.  VALUES ARE NOT THINGS BY THE WAY.. THEY ARE CONCEPTS/WAY OF LIFE GUIDELINES.  For example perhaps you value the concept of family, integrity, and/or honesty. 

Now make a second list—this is the list of all your activities for the day..get really specific..I mean everything.  Write it down and add the (approximate) length of time it takes you to do each task.
