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!!

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 ...

2016 Business Plan Ideas - Part 2

Here it is the first Monday of 2016. This morning at my networking group, we discussed what is your greatest need this year: Help me, Help you! We weren't talking about referrals or new clients - because the bottom line is that's something we all need. However, the overall consensus was that just about everyone wanted to get more organized and wanted advice on how to do that. Of course, this brought me back to my business plans for 2016. Time Block scheduling. I've tried unsuccessfully to set my calendar this way. I'll pick dates that I'm going to do a certain task and somehow they don't get done at that time. They'll usually get done that day - but the time varies based on what's going on in my day. I'm not quite sure how people stick to the time they say they're going to do something. If I walk into my office and have clients needing me, they're going to come before anything else. However, in thinking about this. I do like the idea of givi...
