Day 30 of the 30 Day Ultimate Blog Challenge!

Posted on April 30, 2012 by Annie

I made it! 30 blogs in 30 days. I am so giving myself a pat on the back!!!!

Looking back on it, it all seemed to daunting when I even thought about the last few years…but this year not so much. A little voice kept whispering to me…do it, do it, you can do it, you need the discpline, you need the motivation, you need committment. Okay I finally said! Geez…back off…LOL

Well It worked. The more posts i did the more they got easier. Finding content got easier. Finding ideas to write on got easier Learning how to make a post with my voice is still a challenge but has got easier. Michelle’s awesome post content ideas and tips of the day helped so much! Oh and having the Facebook group made it so much fun to interact with others! We were to read and comment on a post or two a day. Boy did I find that mind-enchanhing. So very many people with so very much knowledge in so many fields literally opened up whole new worlds for me. What a awesome month this has been..

And…YES..I am committed to keep it up! I have printed out a calender for May and am all geared up for me. Are you??

Time Management

Posted on June 9, 2011 by Annie

Time Management is Not About Accomplishing Everything on Your To Do List

This is an short note that I read from one of my favorite writers about time-organization. She has great tips:

The process of making lists is crucial to effective organization. If it’s not written down, it’s bound to be forgotten.

But, so many people get frustrated and overwhelmed when they look at all the tasks on their To Do lists. They wonder how they’ll ever be able to accomplish so many things.

Believe it or not, time management is NOT about accomplishing everything on your list of things to do.

It’s really about looking at your list of things to do, and determining if those things are important enough to do in the first place.

For example, ask yourself if it’s really important to you to drive all the way over to another supermarket, just to save 35 cents on bread. That 35 cents is surely going to be spent on fuel anyway, and look at the time that is being wasted.

Or, is it a good use of your time to cut out and file magazine articles? For some people who reference their saved articles regularly, it certainly may be a good use of time. But I know people who just cut out articles, file them, and NEVER go into those files again.

We only get 24 hours each day. Think wisely before using them up, because once they’re gone, they can never be retrieved again.
