I’ll be the first to admit in a crisis Time managment goes out the window. In fact I believe I might have thrown it out the window, basically because I didn’t know where I ended. I was being stretched so thin during the renovations after the fire and then my DH falling ill, I just wanted to crawl under a rock and hide from it all. For the rest of FOREVER!!!
However I couldn’t do that. I had a job, kids, a family that all had to be handled while all this was going on.
I wasn’t able to put in the full hours that I would usually put into running Phoenix rising promotions, and promoting my clients, but I did keep in contact as best I could. I kept my stress level down as best I could, and even if I was only able to work for 2 hours…that was 2 hours worth of work I didn’t have to do when all was said and done.
Time Managment in any job is crucial. The ability to accomplish all that needs to be done in one day and not be ripping your hair out is a good thing. Planning the day ahead of time as best you can is a great thing. Especially in a crisis or after one.
I had my days planned as best I could. I knew that the contractors were going to be in in the morning, and so breakfast had to be out of the way before then. I knew what day the carpentars were going to be installing the carpets so I made sure that the kids were amply entertained in one of the bedrooms. My life was in chaos for almost a month, and I still some how managed to come out of it with a full head of hair, and of it’s original color.
I guess what this blog is getting at, is even in a crisis there is the possibility to manage your time the best way to keep you from going crazy. If you can only write for an hour, than only write for an hour. Do not try to push yourself to hard because if you do than you’ll just end up having to do it all over again.
