Making lists and getting things done.

Sunday, December 20th, 2015

My husband is visiting his son in WV for a few days, so I'm holding down the fort at home. I have much to do today and need motivation to get it done.

Here is my list.
- Read about my job for tomorrow's Toastmasters meeting, so that I know what I'm doing when I arrive. (I do have my books out)
- I brought home a folder of work that I started yesterday, but still have some to complete as tomorrow is going to be very busy with other obligations.
- Starting/Finishing laundry would be nice.
- Finish wrapping Christmas gifts. For the first time ever, I have wrapped as we bought or as packages arrived in the mail, but I let it go the past week and need to finish.
- Some general light cleaning should probably be done, since this week will be short and all 4 of my kids will be here Christmas Eve/Day.
- Going to the store this afternoon with my youngest daughter, Caitlin to help her with her last couple of gifts she needs to buy.
- A quick trip to the grocery store would probably be a good idea. We are pretty stocked up, but I want to make sure that what I need for Christmas morning breakfast.
- And finally... I know my daughter, Caitlin, is going to want me to help her bake cookies tonight. And she makes them completely from scratch, so it's work! =)

For the moment, Caitlin is at work - so I have until 4 to get all of "my" things done.

Does anyone else have a Sunday packed with things that must get done? Making this list was a good start for me. Now let me see if I can find some motivation.

Have a Happy Sunday everyone and Hail to the Redskins!!

It's really ok to take a break

Sometimes when you're not motivated it's because your literraly burnt out. And that's ok. When you've been doing too much for too long, it's ok to take a break. However, before you start that break, write down some of the things you're going to do after the break.. This helps to keep the things you want to do at the top of your mind without feeling guilty that you're taking a break. So what do I mean by taking a break? It can be ... in any form you desire and/or can afford. We'd all love our break to be a long vacation to someplace we really want to go, but it can be as simple as taking a walk or even spending an entire weekend binge-watching your favorite shows. Just make sure it's a plan and that you know when you've had you're break, you're going to start on that "thing" you've been putting off. MW Copyright 2017

Re-evaluating Social Media in my life

What is the purpose of social media in your life? This is the question I've been pondering for a while now. What do each of these outlets bring to me, give to me, or help me with? Facebook Twitter Instagram Snap Chat Pinterest  LinkedIn Alignable  So many people say they're using social media for their business, while others say you have to be using social media for your business. I believe that's true in some businesses - especially if you're selling a product like t shirts, jewelry, weight loss plans, or other tangible items. But, I'm not sure which really help in the service and intangible industries. With that said, I'm an insurance agent. I sell a piece of paper that gives you piece of mind and aggravation because you are obligated to buy it. Is anyone really interested in reading blogs or articles about insurance? Even insurance humor is mainly funny to insurance people. So where does that leave me with my posts? I have used it in a mostly pers...

The Ins and Outs of Networking

I thought I'd talk about networking for those who are just starting out in their networking journey. And maybe, just maybe, someone who's a pro, will learn something or get a new idea. When you start out on your journey of networking, you're not sure what you're going to find. If you're like me, you're a little intimidated by everyone. They all seem so put together, so confident. It feels like everyone knows everyone else and you don't know anyone! You might sit there thinking "What the heck am I doing here?" But guess what? What you're feeling is 100% normal. And guess what else? We all felt the same way when we started networking. Because I'm one of those people who remembers feeling that way, I make it a point to go out of my way to talk to newbies, show them around, introduce them to others, give them networking advice. It's funny because the very first networking group I ever attended is the one that I'm currently the ...
