This Thing Called Time

I went to a women's group last week and we talked about time. We cannot make more than 24 hours in a day, so how do we make the most of the time we have? Here are the highlights of the discussion.

Planning+Prioritizing=Productivity

These things produce another p: Pleasure

I. Consolidate lists and schedules.

II. Keep a family calender.

III. Plan each day.

IV. Write family time into your schedule.

V.Pare down your possessions.

VI. Maintain order.

VII. Ration TV and computer time.

VIII. Don't overschedule your children.

IX. Establish a sensible bedtime for your children.

X. Involve children in everyday activities (chores)

XI.Ask for help.

XII. Be mindful of small opportunities.

XIII. Focus on the most urgent priorities.

Lots of great, simple tips. Thanks for sharing what you learned.

I haven't been on your blog in a while, always read through the Reader. Great to see a "new" pic of your family!
