Organizing at the Beginning of the Week
Do you try to start your week off with goals set regarding what you plan to accomplish? Do you write these down on a schedule or simply have vague ones in your head?
Some people say they take time Sunday afternoon or evening to plan their week. You’ll know, if you have an outside the home job, when you’re working, unless it’s an “on call” type of position such as the substitute teaching I do. However, I make my plans, leaving the flexibility for getting called.
What goals do you have for your job or your business? Are there special events happening? Do you have project deadlines? (I just e-mailed a newspaper column that’s due every Monday.)
I have some fixed business appointments and plans on my weekly schedule. I have to allow flexibility for stubstitute teaching. I have a fixed schedule for a second outside the home job. I have deadlines for my blog and column writing. I have certain activities I need to do for a business with my husband. Then there are family commitments. It’s a juggling act, but is easier if I have some planning done Sunday night or early Monday morning.
How do you organize your week?
