Making Every Moment Count
October 12, 2009 by Mary Emma Allen
“Mary, you must be so well organized,” people often comment when they learn I have two outside-the-home jobs, have a writing home business and another business with my husband, along with being a mom and grandmother.
Sometimes I don’t feel organized as I go from task to task. But I try to make every moment count, even those when I relax and read. Basically I enjoy all my jobs, so that helps me keep working at them.
To fit all into my schedule:
- I make “to do” lists for the various areas of my life
- I carry notebook and pen with me to jot down ideas and tasks
- I multi task as much as possible
- I take short “power” naps to keep my energy up.
- I take vitamins, which help me from getting too tired.
- I find small moments of enjoyment with my family, rather than waiting until I can schedule a whole day.
- I’m continually interested in new ideas.
- I’m trying to get better organized so that I don’t waste time looking for stuff.
Mainly, I try to make every moment count!
