I find that time gets away from me, and I do more of the things I "like" to do, and less of the things I should be doing.
These are my thoughts, and I welcome comments from others on how you manage your time, especially those working from home.
By putting my devotions first, and therefore God first, my day goes better. I do beleive that the "business" that I do from my home is from God. He opened the doors, He operates the creativity and the doors opening up.
I never seem to ever get the daily agenda finished. On the dog end there is advertising to do, dogs to be bathed and groomed, cleanup several times a day. Answering emails and calls.
On the design end, there are the freelance projects from the printer, website update requests, and new websites. I am still trying to get my own site up and running.
Then there is the house chores like cooking, cleaning, laundry.
Calls for prayer, advice, help and encouragement come every day.
Before I know it the time is gone and I feel like nothing has been accomplished.
How do YOU manage your time. Suggestions will definitely go under consideration!
-I Usually complete my most labor intensive or mentally draining tasks earlier in the day as my energy levels are higher In the morning. Have a healthy lunch, take 30-60minutes for only me. Shut out the world for a moment. Then continue with the smaller tasks throughout the remainder of the day/evening. Setting small attainable goals and write a to do list rather than compiling it all together in my mind. Never express how much I have to do in one day as I feel it makes it all feel overwhelming when In fact it usually isn't if I spread it out properly. :) love you - Angie
