HOW DO I MANAGE MY TIME?

^

Decide it’s TIME to be more deliberate, effective and disciplined with my time

^

Sit down with myself with pen and paper in a quiet location.  Sometimes before going to bed to ready for the next day/week.

^
Write the BUSINESS activities that need to get accomplished.
^

Write the PERSONAL activities I wish to enjoy (by myself, with family, friends, etc)

^
Next to each activity, estimate the amount of time it will take to do the activity/task/project (15 mins, 30 mins, 1 hour, hour and a half, etc)
^
Label each task/activity with NOW, Next Week, Next Month
^
Print an hourly schedule (Monday-Sunday)
^

Plan each day starting with my morning good habits and time block the activities you listed for NOW

^

Consider a business or household taks to complete first then REWARD myself with time for to relax and regroup

^

I take time to feel good about my progress and TAKE ACTION on the next important task to complete.

^

Consider planning out a week schedule.

Reflect on what I accomplished and what I can improve upon.  Acknowledge and celebrate my wins.. big and small!  Wash, rinse and repeat!
