Manage Your Time
First, a warm and hearty wish for a good Holiday season to all of you.
We have lots of snow here, very unusual for our part of Oregon. We’re part way up a hill, with just enough elevation that we get more snow than the valley floor, and it’s very pretty. We haven’t been able to get out for several days, but we’re warm and have plenty of food, so life is good!
I wanted to share some words of wisdom from John Reese’s blog. In this post, he talks about a concept of “time units” for getting things done. It’s basically the concept that you look at the tasks involved in a project rather than the overall giant package that can be daunting. It’s not a new concept at all, but as usual, he pulls it all together in way that sticks.
This really resonated with me. I know, intellectually, that the only way to get anything done is to take that first step and just keep going at it. But I do find myself staring at the directory of all the ebooks in my “ebay to be listed” file, with my brain pumping away at “OMG, that’s too much. I can’t take all this on right now. Guess I’ll play an online game for awhile.” Or watch the food channel, or cruise my email…
If any of that sounds familiar, check out the post and read the excellent comments. I’ve bookmarked the page with a resolve to reread it when I get an OMG moment.
Wishing you all a great Holiday Season and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
