Need a reason to get organized?

What got me thinking:

I called my mother this morning, I told her I missed sleep. Glorious Naps. Laying in bed just being. I miss personal time.

How many balls do you have up in the air?

Work, family, personal fulfillment, fitness , health, being skinny... learning a new language.

What about all the dreams you have written down on a scrap of paper that never gets noticed until the day before your birthday when you contemplate another year gone without learning to scuba dive.

(Ok, I know it's nothing fancy like learning Latin. But I figure if I ever get called in for a mission to find buried treasure with Johnny Depp I'm going to need Scuba Skills!).

Another ball dropped. Dag-nag-it!

WORK: I love my computer, online banking, cell phone, instant messengering and calendar that make communication easy, work completed faster and projects run smoother. But those are the very things that stress me most too. Remember snail mail. You had a day to compose a letter. To get it just right before it was mailed away. Email gives you an hour at most to whip something up. There's always some important detail that has to be sent as an addendum later on.

That's just work. What about your social calendar. Often we try to cram excursions, entertaining, voluntary responsibilities, health and fitness quests, housekeeping, duty visits, spending time with friends and on your own. Even my leisure time doesn't feel like my own.

What being organized means:

• More time for myself, my friends and my family.
  
  
• A little less time scheduling emergency meetings and putting out fires and freaking out over deadlines.

• No more stress and feeling drained.
  

• Able to tackle projects with more clarity. If I'm not juggling I bet I could focus more on getting better results.
  

• A sense of accomplishment and a pride in a project pulled of perfectly and on time.

Success is time for everything and a little time even for me

Where I found my keys: On my nightstand. What happened to that great catcher idea for my computer table. Computer table is currently filled with all kinds of junk including lip gloss and Sunday's empty drink cup from Starbucks. So tonight my mission is to clear that table.
