Time management is a priority.
Balancing interactions with people who are important in my life with the tasks surrounding writing, critiquing, revision, learning more about the writer’s social networking aspect of self promotion, enjoying my new position as a crew member on 1st Turning Point getting enough sleep, and finding time to relax away from the computer … to sit with a good book. These days, there is no time for more than an hour of TV in the evening. And then there are the household bookkeeping tasks, and housework.
When and if I come up with a plan that works, I’ll write an article about it! Check back next month!
In the meantime, a daily list of priorities helps. I keep a running ‘do list’ and post future deadlines, apts. etc on calendars, one for the desk, one for my purse. I read the calendar for the next day at night before bed. I haven’t developed a computer calendar habit yet. That’s next on the list.
