Why do we do it? We have these jobs we know we need to do but we keep putting them off. By doing this, we make the job appear even more difficult than it is. We give it a power and then even more amazingly, we start to believe the hype we have created.
If we eat the frog, (ie get that awful job done out of the way), then the rest of the day has got to be a breeze but what if you have more than one frog item on your list?
“a plan Is what, a schedule is when. It takes both to get things done” Pubilius Syrus Lists Are you a list writer? Do you have lists everywhere? Or maybe even lists organised in one lovely book – yes I’m talking about you – or maybe you have amazing mind maps that you’ve spent hours…
If you are anything like me, you are possibly involved in several projects. Maybe you’re not involved in lots of projects, but you are trying to juggle work, home, me-time, keeping fit, being a mum/dad, and somehow trying to find time to write that book or redecorate that room. or learn a new skill I…
Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you. Anne Lamot How often do you take the time to do nothing? Absolutely nothing. Time to forget everything that is going on around you? Time to recharge your batteries? Time to just unwind? Why not? Anyone who worked in an…
I love lists. I have lists for everything
As well as thinking about the goal and the steps you need to take; also think about what doesn’t motivate you.
The diet can start on Monday. Or after the holidays. Or once all the rubbish has been consumed in the house. Or until you have had chance to go shopping for some healthy alternatives?
What one thing could you do today to help you reach your goal?
I have read soooooo many books and articles on productivity but they all work from the assumption that you are off the sofa and ready to do. I needed something that started with me on the sofa, thinking about doing but then procrastinating.
I was the Queen of Procrastination. I made myself so many promises to improve my productivity but still found myself putting off everything until the very last minute, all the time stressing about what needed doing or reading more articles on how to improve your productivity or stop procrastinating.
This comes under my “finish what I start” category but if I am honest, the only start I had made on many projects was pinning the idea on Pinterest for inspiration at a later date.
If, like me, you are a great list writer but not so great at doing; if you too are a Leader in Procrastination, then hopefully one of these will help you to part ways with procrastination.
I don’t know about you but I’m reaching that age when I forget why I walked into a room, what I’m looking for and yesterday, I even took the scenic route home – by scenic, I mean long and totally unnecessary! Summer Holiday Brain Mode: My brain is still in summer holiday mode. Summer holiday…
I wanted to share with you how I use the Bullet Journal method to keep on top of the Special Needs Minefield.
When life happens, and things get put on hold, the last thing I want is the added stress of knowing that I will have to play catch up the following week/month.
I am going to plan to be positive. I will set myself some small goals each week or month to help me stay positive and, most importantly, I will do all I can to achieve them.
All of these moments are either more pleasurable or more bearable if Mr Sleep has honoured us with his presence.
I love October, it is definitely one of my favourite months. It’s that Autumn feel, it’s my wedding anniversary, it’s my twins’ birthday and it is halloween – my kids’ second favourite holiday. October brings dark evenings, leaves crunching under your feet and the countdown to Christmas – my kids’ favourite holiday. The first of…
I love January! Over the last few days, I have had lovely long catch up chats with my partners in crime work colleagues and I am now so motivated but desperately looking for the best Productivity App to utilise. Initially I had a lovely catch up with my counterpart in my new role with Community…
Well, my mission to get organised continues. I have spent a lot of time reading blogs and tips. I have also spent many hours on my beloved Pinterest. I purchased a lovely A5 filfoax as phone apps were not doing it for me. I had discovered Astrid which I thought may be the solution but…
