Weekly Simplicity Tips

Hi all, I've been on vacation so haven't been posting about the time class coming up Monday except in the newsletter. (*whispering* I heard not everyone gets to read it right away each week. Not enough time!)

Re: New Time Class- Limited Room - June 25, 2012

Attention: Hurried, overwhelmed individuals with too much too do and not enough time to do it

Ask yourself: do you want to live your life in a constant state of hurry and worry?

When it comes to time, have you tried system after system but nothing works?

Or do you keep all your to dos in your head hoping you don't forget anything?

Or worse, have a time system that takes so much time to manage you wonder if it's even worth it?

We all want to feel in control of our time, but how do you do it?

 

I've had some questions about the above time class, I thought I'd answer here.

1) What if I can't make the classes?

About half of the class members don't make classes. You will get a transcript of each of the classes, the lessons and the workbook. And you can email me any questions you want. Classes are 8pm Eastern. To find your time zone click here.

2) I've never done a chat room. That technology makes me a little scared.

It's simple, simple, simple. Once you login as a guest or register with a user name and password you pick out, you go to the chat room. Then you type in the box and click to submit. Easy as sending an email.

3) Help, I have to many to dos and I don't know what to do next!


I thought Time Management was the answer. If only I could plan my time well enough and do enough multi-tasking, it would be "enough." I wrote articles with time tweaks and tips which help, but didn't solve the underlying problem.

I've gone through Franklin planners, Bubble planners, Day Timers, a huge monthly calendar, Remember the Milk, numerous online or computer time programs. But, I didn't stick with many long.

Why?

I didn't stick with any because when my to dos got to be so many, the program became overwhelming. So I'd quit and start fresh with a new program.

What I didn't realize was that it wasn't the program that was the problem. It was my whole relationship with time.

Changing the relationship

For the past couple years, I have gone from seeing time as a tyrannical task master to seeing time as an abstract concept. It's fluid and subjective.

Now:

  • I rarely rush even when I think I will be late.
  • I no longer have to do lists that seize me up as soon as I look at them.
  • I know the difference between Soft Time and Hard Time
  • My priorities are actual priorities
  • I listen to my intution more when finding my next to do
  • I have quit my over-planning tendency

Just the other day a friend and I were lost in Grand Rapids, MI. She said, "I am so glad you aren't getting all upset that we will be late for the concert." Time just isn't a concept I like to get upset about anymore.

About

I help the overwhelmed create saner, simpler lives. I deliver...

Untamed possibility. Breathe easier simplicity. Hope.
On the wings of understanding and encouragement.
Step by step breaking down from “no way! “ to “why not?”

I’ve helped people declutter & organize, lose weight, learn to manage time, gain self-confidence, learn to focus, practice self care and simplify their lives so they can do what’s most important to them and their family. I love giving hope to people that come to me thinking it can’t be done. I was not born organized, I’ve had to learn the skills. Things like overcoming perfectionism and procrastination. And knowing what is for dinner before 5pm.
