What's the Time?

What’s the Time?
With Christmas approaching women are already realizing the added tasks which will  seriously tax their   time- management skills. For those of us who want to maintain our sanity we need to take a close look at some of the beliefs which have held us captive to the “one-more-thing- on- my- plate” syndrome.


Let us look carefully on the following:


 Excuses for Poor Time Management


        - I do not have enough time to do everything


- Multi-tasking makes me more efficient


- Technology simplifies my life





- Getting it all done will make me happy





- Working double time is the only way I’ll get ahead





- I have to be busy for my family


-I have to catch up financially


-My family and friends expect me to be always busy helping them





Are you guilty or not guilty?





**Next week we will look at some of the strategies that will assist us to improve our time-management practices and allow us to enjoy the holidays with more focus and less stress. Until then….Keep soaring!

    Ettie, what wise advice! I am guilty of some of your statements :( As my sister-in-law told me today, it is not more stuff that we want from family and friends during the holiday, but rather more time with loved ones.
