Gratitude

[kitchen_kink]

Today I'm grateful that I finally figured out that the thing to do is to plot out all of my activities for the day on Google calendar, with time allocated for each one. It's not necessarily that I keep to the strict schedule I lay out, but it does mean that I know what needs doing and I'm usually right about how long it'll take, and if things need to be switched around then I can switch them around, and if I don't get something done I'm not too worried because hey, look at all the other things I got done!!

This is, like, obvious to most people, right?

I'm also really grateful for xaydie and her darling husband for taking me in last night, feeding me, and showing me silly cartoons. It was a great way to spend a lazy evening.

This is so much NOT the norm, it's not even funny. 99% of people don't think of it, and even if they do, they shrug it off as impossible and too much effort.

no wonder project managers are so highly sought after, and why it's such a hard job.

I just sent a manager to a time management seminar, he didn't want to go because "he didn't have the time."

I have been on the time management kick for quite a while, thanks to M. it helped me tremenduously, in exactly the way you described.
