Organizing your life: How did it life so crazy!

Organizing your life, how did it life so crazy! We juggle work, family, downtime, and most times, we just don't have enough time in a day to get things done! And if you run your own business, well that's even more time needed when you factor in social networking, facebook, twitter, and blogging to help bring in business. Then there is family, taking the kids to practices, games and whatever activities that they are into. Holidays that come around, family parties that you must attend, spouses that are feeling neglected, friends that haven't seen you in a while, and can we PLEASE get some downtime!!! How did life get so crazy.

ORGANIZING YOUR LIFE, IT CAN BE OVERWHELMING! A long time ago, when I was a real estate agent, I took a continuing education course. I can't remember the course but i got the best advice anyone has ever given me. The instructor gave us some advice in how to juggle all our commitments. This is what he said. Right down every activities, commitments that you must do every week, Monday through Sunday. What ever slot are open, that is what we should fill in. So if you kid has practice every wednesday night, write it down, blog on Monday mornings, meetings on Thursdays afternoon. Getting the picture? Now what ever is left over you can fill it in with what ever you want. Try to keep blogging consistent. I know Mondays is my blogging day, so I try not to plan anything for that day. Has it helped? You betcha it has. If you follow me on facebook, you know I'm a organizer junkie (Ok, the cat's out of the bag, Im slightly annal!)

It takes commitment to do this at first, but I promise you, it does work and it will make a huge difference in your life. Organizing your life doesn't have to be crazy. it just take a little bit planning and some commitment on your part.
