Time Management

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!

New Opportunities

I am grateful today that...
God supplies my needs,
I have a roof over my head,
I have family who love me,
my hands seem to be working so much better than they were yesterday,
I have friends that are thoughtful and special in my life,
there is enough to eat in the house,

This next part is what I am expecting to happen in my life and I am calling it as though it has already happened since that is what we are to do.

I am thankful that God is making His presence known in a deeper way,
I am thankful for a new roof & floors
I am thankful for my healing of diabetes, Hep C, and other health issues that plague me.
I am thankful for the sale of my puppies
I am thankful for more work.

My title for today is "New Opportunities". I am thankful that God gave me the abilities that I have to be creative. Over the last 3 weeks, there has been several doors begin to open up, where my abilities to create are in play, but it has also opened up a way of being a help to others. Advertising in various forms has been provided to me, that I would never have had the finances to obtain.

I have decided that I would be donating a portion of my puppy proceeds to help others, to various charities.
In the design business, I want to also donate something back to people who use my services, so I will be including "extras" in that I would not normally do, and help them to promote their business. In this day and age of the "ME ME ME syndrome", people need to be encouraged that there are people out here who want to help others.

As the Lord leads and guides my footsteps, He will bring those who need the help, and we can work together.
