Spread Too Thin ~ Choices Sept 1st

140 Views 13 Votes 6 Comments

There are times I feel that by my own fault, I spread myself too thin. I take on too many projects or am not organized enough. Or it could be that I come up with what needs to be done, but I don’t schedule the time it takes to do the task.

Here is the experiment and it begins tomorrow morning. Tomorrow is a shorter work day for me so that might help with the time to evaluate how this system worked. So the chores and allotted times are listed below.

3:30 am – Get up, get dressed, make coffee, prepare for work

4:00 am – Make toast, take medication, check on Bro

4:30 am – Log into the computer, check emails, post any prepared items.

4:55 am – Sign into work

7:30 am – 15 minute break (morning stretches)

7:45 am Back to work

9:00 am  Log out

9:30 am write for 30 minutes

10:00 take dishes upstairs, Take care of Bro

So let’s see if setting the time asside helps  things to move along.

  3. Spreading yourself too thin is always counter productive in the end. I tried it and broke down from the stress if it.

    I’m glad you’re taking the time to give yourself some free time. Lol

  4. I like this! I have always been reading “time blocking” does help us to manage our time, or stay focused. Sometimes I do this, but most of the time, I am just too lazy. I have my focus of the day, and then I am trying to work on what I want to get done in the day, but I get distracted easily, especially when I am sitting in front of my computer. I am planning to work hard on staying focused this month.

    Good luck in your new attempt! Hope this works out for you.

  6. Often depends on external influences for me. I have to consider my husband, because I can make all the plans but he is bound to disrupt it.
    If I compromise with him, it usually works but in order to do that have to keep him organised

    I am taking into account he has a disability and that he cant be left alone as he does 2 things, gets depressed or self destructs.

    so I make sure he gets out and now arranging things for him to improve his health.
