Keeping Ahead of the Game!

It’s just too crazy - all that we expect to accomplish in the course of the day! Take today for example. I had high hopes of putting together the first draft of an article that is due this week, to write up and send out my monthly Write-Solutions e-zine (without any errors!!), visit a client, make a few phone calls, stop off at the post office, and answer my emails.

To start off the day, I had all intentions of investigating whether or not I needed to take care of a refund for someone. In betwixt everything else, I also had planned on doing some research for 2 different clients.

And this was to be a “slow” day.

The phone rang as I entered my office, the fax machine started rumbling, and here it is 6 hours later, and most of my to-do’s are still waiting to be attended to. I DID manage to get my e-zine out … with only one mistake (DARN!) Instead of listing the Feb. 6 TeleSeminar’s title as “Achieve Your Perfect Life: Ditch your Unhappiness by Creating the Job of Your Dreams” my message flew across the net telling people that they could ditch their “happiness” - SIGH! Sometimes that cut ‘n paste thingy is a menace …

Seems many people are caught up in this trap! I don’t know about you, but I really want to try to have more realistic expectations of what I can get done, and still leave enough time to attend to those unexpected issues that constantly crop up and dash all my good intentions.

Any thoughts you’d care to share?? I’d love to hear how you are dealing with this. But for right now, I’m back to shuffling through my records, going online to check on that possible refund, making more phone calls, answering e/mails …………

Cheers!
