January sure started with a bang for me. We are 2 weeks inwards (how fast has that gone) too I receive got already striking the lay out 1 spot on Amazon with my non-fiction title, How I Changed My Life inwards a Year Anyone who is a regular reader of my spider web log volition sympathise when I country ‘thought’s instruct things’. Oh yes, I’m thinking precisely most successful mass sales too hopefully bringing to a greater extent than of it to me! Next calendar week is the unloosen appointment for the minute mass inwards my immature adult fantasy trilogy hence I’ve been working difficult on publicity too dealing with the fiction side of my writing business. I am also hosting a vision board workshop, aid a encounter the writer effect too a blogger/author encounter up, doing a radio interview (it’s true! I’ll portion the link on my spider web log when it’s over), too I’m an exhibitor too speaker at the It’s Your Life West Midlandsth January.
Phew, busy month. When I works life this meme on Facebook it made me express mirth out loud because I was pulling that exact aspect upwards when I saw it.
When my bottom lip began to wobble every bit I contemplated all the events, deadlines too tasks coming upwards over the adjacent twosome of weeks, I decided to receive got stock, halt too calm myself down. Panic isn’t conducive to a productive month.
The maiden off matter I did was to select everything to my office. My diary was inwards the kitchen, the calendar on my component division wall, notepad inwards the lounge too the mass I needed to review was on my bedside tabular array upstairs. Instead of leaving them scattered around the house I brought them together inwards 1 house hence I could see, at a glance, what needed to be done.
Then, I wrote a to-do list. Writing my tasks inwards fourth dimension guild helps me to piece of work out the priority, for example; I am speaking at 2 events, 1 on the 21st too the minute on the 24th, I demand a slightly dissimilar spoken communication for both but the 21st effect needs to be written first.
Once I had everything written downwardly too my diary too calendar were coordinated I could consider the gaps inwards my fourth dimension where the petty worries could be slotted. For example; on Tuesday I picked upwards a novel kitten. It was a proficient 40 infinitesimal drive to collect her hence I filled my auto upwards with petrol on the way, I had already booked my Tesco store to brand it at 8am earlier I laid off, too I scheduled a Skype telephone band for afterwards the kids got habitation from schoolhouse hence kitty had society every bit I worked. Four to-do listing jobs are done inwards 1 go.
Writing downwardly your worries amongst your chore listing helps you lot to clear downwardly those encephalon tabs.
Normally my to-do listing would say:
- Collect kitten
- Skype call
I would hence worry most how I was going to fill upwards the refrigerator or instruct petrol earlier my son’s football game grooming session. Jotting downwardly your anxieties tin hold out real helpful – too therapeutic. I operate my magazine daily, too this is where I write my bigger worries too life stuff. Buying petrol isn’t considered a large life worry (unless you’re a truck driver!) but it tin all the same brand you lot experience apprehensive if you lot are teetering on empty. It plays on your take away heed too amplifies your unease.
The adjacent fourth dimension you lot experience similar your encephalon has every bit good many tabs opened upwards try to follow the tips I receive got used to calm my hectic month. They work.
Quick Fix:
- Gather all task related ‘stuff’ such every bit bills, notes, letters, etc. Take them to 1 place.
- Write yourself a listing of everything you lot demand to produce – lay it inwards guild hence you lot know what to clear first.
- Jot downwardly anything you lot are worried most – clear it out of your take away heed past times writing it down.
