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.

That impactful moment....

At some point in your life you have made a decision that took you onto a life path that has had or still has a great impact on our view of your world.   Do you remember that moment?   Perhaps you were very young and read a story or played a game or listened to someone speaking and realized this is what “I want..this is what feels right for me”.  

Do you remember that moment?  

Think about your experiences as a student or teacher.  Do you recall that moment when it clicked, made sense and you knew this was your path or that it was time for a change?   Remember the feeling,  take a moment to breathe in and feel that way again..be present in that moment.......then reflect on how and what you choose to be the leader, facilitator, teacher each day.
