Sorry for the missed week, folks. I got caught in a rainstorm and had to hold
an angry, wet dog in my lap for the almost two-hour trip home, which is usually
only an hour except when you experience bad traffic. We experienced bad traffic. I got chilled and spent two days wearing
fleece and drinking tea and soup in an attempt to get warm and stay that
way. The dog, Peanut, also got a little
bit of a cold. We napped together under
blankets for those two days. Thankfully,
we are both feeling better now.
What
worked?
Everything.
This is proving to be a useful and effective system for me. I really like it. The 30-minute duration task
was a very helpful addition. I will keep
it.
What
didn’t work?
No problems at all.
What
was annoying?
The system was fine. I took on a new position with Park Lane
jewelry. With the new position came new
tasks, and I underestimated the time they would require to complete. Consequently, I over booked my schedule with
tasks that I could not complete. This is
a habit of mine. If you follow the blog,
you’ve seen me deal with it before.
I also discovered that the base calendar I’m using,
which is the size of a desk blotter, is too small and the post-its
overlap. I will need to find or make a
bigger base, especially if I decide to keep using this system. Unlike Suzi Whitford, I do NOT have an extra
wall in my space to use for this.
What
changes will I make?
I will work on keeping my tasks in the manageable
realm. I think I have done that for this
week – the calendar has blank spaces between post-its most days. I will also poke at finding a different base
because I really need more space some days.
I can’t believe it is the last week of August. I
hope your month comes to a close in joy.
If you have Labor Day travel plans, be safe and have fun!
