Not Enough Time

Be fair, attentive, and customers will
return.

"I scheduled to do several jobs on Monday,
but wasn't able to." You said. "Now, I'm
running behind."

In my opinion, it's best to be organized,
have everything mapped out. You know what
is to be done on Day One to the end of your
week.

However, life, circumstances, don't, always,
allow us to stick to the plan. There, simply,
is not enough time.

"How do I make more time?" You sighed.

Don't get frustrated, disappointed, with
yourself.

You make more time by re-evaluating your
schedule.

It doesn't matter if for a business, or
a cluttered life. You must prioritize.

I'd like to write, for example, a book
per day. Update my web log once a day,
work on writing projects that interest
me, and instrust students.

Perhaps, there are people who can write
a perfet, need no editing, book, but I'm
not among them. I can write two or three
pages a day, more realistic for me.

My web log is revised in a timely fashion.
It's pointless, waste of energy, to worry
about it. The energy can be used for taking
care of tasks under my control.

I arrange students, who need my help, to fit
my schedule. If I can't work with someone
today then tomorrow.

Work projects, writing projects, are fitted
to my schedule. I'm relaxed, and work faster.

The same should hold true for you. Pick the
most important projects, tasks, to do, first.
Each one is given, only, a portion of your time.
Otherwise, you're loaded down working on jobs
that could have waited. At the end of the day,
you're stressed out, because you, still, have back-
logged work.

Practice pacing yourself. If necessary, jot
down what's urgent. Tape the paper near your
work-station.

If, only, you had decided to use this
practice sooner, your profit margin would
be larger.

Especially, the day the Browns called
about their order. The folder was mis-
filed. You had to call them back. You
found the folder on top of the filing
cabinet. Your stress level elevated that
day, needlessly. Hopefully, the Browns
become repeat customers.

Make a schedule to never have to use
the title words: Not Enough Time. Allow
time between tasks, projects, for the
unseen.

Also, if you stick to the schedule,
don't worry about what didn't get done.
Do your best.

It promotes happier, less stressful,
lives.

Schedule what you will do tomorrow, and
not be stressed, because you know what
to do next. Or, never again, spend too
much time on Product A, Task D, or Service
G.
