And now with the wonderful weather, it is even nicer. First thing in the morning, it is all about possibilities. Tonight when I go to bed, its about results.<br /><br />I have been traveling this week so lots of catch up today. And I have neglected stuff around the house so have lost of mail to go through, bills to pay, den to organize etc. I know I will suffer today from "People always tend to overestimate what they can accomplish in a day". But I love the next part "People always tend to underestimate what they can accomplish in a year".<br /><br />I have recently had to do some major juggling of my schedule. This causes guilt for the things I have to cancel (although I realize this sort of guilt serves no purpose). It is a problem of possibilities. I have just so many things I want to do and so many things I get invited to do.<br /><br />Life really is about setting priorities. Not only at a big level but at the tiniest of level. I tend to be long term goal oriented so this helps me set some priorities. I am not sure there is a perfect way. Thinking if I figure that out, there would be a good book there. I did research it a bit and found lots of articles including those <a href="http://www.marin.cc.ca.us/~don/study/5time.html">here</a>, <a href="http://www.dkeener.com/keenstuff/priority.html">here</a>, and <a href="http://extensionhr.osu.edu/TimeMangWebsite/setting_priorities.htm">here</a>.<br /><br />One reason I study time management is so I can do more things. It works well as long as I remember to schedule time for the things that build me up and make me stronger and therefore more productive. <br /><br />I am grateful that I have so many things I want to do. <br /><br />Perhaps cloning will advance.Jim Estillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11589374299058476097noreply@blogger.com
