What A Day and Night! : )

I had a rough day today. I tried my hand and sitting for a new child. Didn't work out. : ( Sadly, I cannot help everyone I would like to and it's okay. I am learning more and more about myself and what I want out of life daily. I got news that one of my aunts I was close to died a few days ago. My dad is taking it pretty hard. I have been so sick with a viral sinus stuff all week. I broke down and decided to take some Mucinex today. I'm hoping to feel better tomorrow. I got a nice surprise tonight though. My nephew I haven't seen in quite a while called. I totally did not know who he was. He told my husband that he was in town. He and his future wife, and daughter came by our house. I was sooooo happy!!!! It literally made my day. I have a very special wedding to attend on June 7th. He said he'd come by when he is in Abilene. I'm thrilled! I loved his future wife. Nice lady. I'm so proud of him and for him. I did get other great news too. I was offered a seat in life coaching school. My first class is Tuesday. I have a LOT of paperwork to get faxed back in before Tuesday am. It's $100 a month. My husband was excited. I'm going to fulfill my dreams. I knew that this was totally a God thing. Our radio show continues to do well too. I will be a certified life coach in 5 months. When that is done, Then, I start school for marketing. I feel very fortunate to have a career going and still am able to work from home and be a mom. It's so wonderful. I am going to make this school and my kids proud.

Making your Time Work For You



Time Management Tips: 5 Tips for Making Time Work Better for you – Read Here to Find Out



Time Management Tips: 5 Tips for Making Time Work Better for you – Read Here to Find Out



Author: Wendy Hearn


In today's hectic world it is easy to lose track of things if you do not have some kind of time management strategy in place. So, here are some quick tips to help you to get the most out of the precious hours in your day.





1. You cannot manage your time - This may sound a strange way to begin a time management tips article, but it's true. You cannot manage time. You have so many hours in your day and you can not change that. You can, however, manage how effectively YOU can use this time and your energy. Using your time well is about managing you, not about managing time.





2. Be effective, not efficient - Learn to discern between effective use of your time and efficient use of time, the latter being the better of the two. Folding and sealing 200 letters in one hour is efficient use of your time. Buying a machine to do it in five minutes is effective use of your time.





3. Know what you want - How can you spend your time the way you would like to if you don't know what you want? Before embarking on any time management plan sit down and get a clear idea of exactly how you want to spend your time. This will give you something specific to work towards.





4. Get organized - Keep a time log to find out how you are really spending your time. Also, keep a daily time plan for each day so you know exactly what you want to achieve in each day, and work towards your longer-term goals.





5. Avoid time wasters - Time wasters are the arch-enemies of good time management. Worst of all, they are often so subtle that you won't even notice them. Common time wasters include television, clutter, meetings and interruptions at work.
