Wednesday's BOLD LAW "All work expands to the time allowed'' Scheduling...easy to say and hard to accomplish and stick to!

TRUE CONFESSION.....

I don't know about you, but somedays I am way more efficient than other days. I'm pretty consistent planning out my upcoming week each Sunday. All my "Big Rocks" are placed into my daily schedule around meetings and other events that occur on a regular basis. I have learned also to leave some "white space" in between all the tasks. We need to leave ourselves some room for travel time, lunch, bathroom breaks and the inevitable interruptions that come our way. Hopefully, those interruptions can be handled quickly and we can get right back to our schedules.

Remember it's progress, not perfection! Stuff happens to interfere with the best planned out schedules. Life gets in the way. Expect it. Deal with it and learn from it. We cannot control what happens to us. We can only control how we react to it. Please allow yourself some grace and get back on track as soon as you realistically can.

But what about self sabotage? Sometimes, I am the ONE that causes me to get off schedule. I am the reason that I have to work late to finish something because I made a choice to do something that was not on my schedule. I procrastinated or was not focused or efficient and I allowed the work to expand the time I gave it!

Or rather, it took all day to do because I let it take all day to do. No one else's fault but mine! Does that ever happen to any of you?

When I control my hourly activities better, I get more done in less time! There's a blinding flash of the obvious ! Why are some days better than others? 

Okay, that's off my chest...let's get to work following our schedule because we know that. All work expands to the time allowed!
