Spontaneous Post

Yay. I just finished working at maximum efficiency all day. On a Friday. My day's not over yet, but that's another story. No headache. No stress. Just a feeling of genuine satisfaction. This, my readers, is a great feeling.

There's one simple thing that helps me in this area. Something I use several times a week and I credit for being able to juggle so much.

You're waiting for some grand announcement, aren't you?

Well, I'm sorry to disappoint. Nothing to shout from the mountaintop, but something I stand by and recommend others use.

Here goes...

Task List/Project Templates!

Oh, I can hear the nerd alarm sounding from every corner of the world. Hear me out though- if you're not using something like this- you should be!
Here's an example
There are lots of programs out there, and some can even sync up to your calendar (I'm a frequent clicker of the 'Flag for Followup' option)

If multitasking is your middle name- at home, work, wherever- sorting it all out using a tool like this will guarantee more productivity- and peace of mind. I realize everyone has a different style and method of accomplishing things, but I've seen too many scatterbrained people who could benefit from using something as simple as this.

That's all. Just sharing a little something that works for me that might work for someone else too.
Stayed tuned for my list of upcoming appearances as a motivational speaker...

Long Day

Thought I'd sneak in a little post today in between jobs. Bet all the people who are aren't reading this thought I was falling off the blog wagon again, right? Not so fast...

8 hours at LM then 2 more jobs tonight. If it wasn't 30 degrees out and the 2nd bar didn't permit smoking, it would be perfect.  Tomorrow's Friday (and pay day!) so I can handle it... and get through the 2 more jobs this weekend. Next week will be in the 50s and 60s, so we're gettin there!

Having a little bit of a hard time deciding which book to read next on the Kindle. So many choices, it's hard to narrow down.

Time for some Guinness and Zwack tonight... Pouring pints and extreme air hockey!
