Does this sound familiar? Fix the bed, get dressed and have breakfast. Start the breakfast dishes and get them loaded into the dishwasher when you realize that you are out of dishwashing detergent. Run to the computer to put that on your list for grocery shopping that week when you find out that your computer’s been hit by a virus. Spend an hour and a half cleaning up the computer virus so that you can open up a word processing program. While the word processing program is opening you get up to get a glass of water and realize that the kids left their dirty laundry on the floor in the family room. You pick up the clothes and head into the laundry room where you start a load of laundry, grab a light bulb and run out to the front porch to change the light that had burned out the night before. By the end of the day you have changed a light bulb and clean the virus off your computer, the laundry is still in the washing machine and the dishes never got finished.
While this is a rather simplistic view of what can happen over the course of the morning it is, nonetheless, very real. Whether you are working in an office setting and attending to 20 different tasks at once or you are working at home the issues are the same. It is time to take control of your time and manage your schedule to increase your productivity and improve the way you feel at the end of the day.
That’s right! How much you get done during the day says a lot about how you feel at the end of the day. Many people will also equate the amount of work they achieve with the degree of stress many perceive at day’s end. So let’s figure out how to improve the amount of work you can get done while not burning out with stress and feelings of being overwhelmed.
