For over seven years I commuted to a Corporate position in Surrey (Cloverdale) from the Sunshine Coast…I was always chasing the clock ~ life and laundry was jammed into weekends. It was a challenge on so many fronts. Now that I have closed my career chapter and started this little business, I am gaining a whole new appreciation for the time I have to be a fully present “Coaster” where I can help others in this beautiful Sunshine Coast Community.
Plan time to find time ~ I’m not one to pump my own tires but honestly to manage a heavy corporate workload successfully I planned everything using an active To Do List. So if you need/want more time, consider keeping a To Do List then plan things into your schedule ~ yes you will have to make time to do this too but like me, you will feel so much better having “downloaded” what needs doing and then organizing your day, week or month! Just think of the sense of accomplishment you will gain from simply writing things down and then ticking them off your list! Now that sounds pretty good doesn’t it?
To help you get started, here’s some ways I keep a To Do List;
- When I’m on the go, I love using the Notes feature on my mobile device to jot down a To Do;
- For grocery shopping, I use the Flipp App where I’ve set up a Shopping List to track weekly deals from all of the local grocery flyers ~ now that is a timesaver!
- A To Do List notebook & pen is set in the kitchen for quick reference and a small wall mounted chalkboard situated near the car keys is a good visual reminder.
- An Outlook calendar on my laptop keeps me sorted on upcoming appointments as well as seasonal household tasks.
Do you have projects around the home or tasks that are keeping you from doing something you love to do? Maybe I can help! I offer 30 minute consultations and perhaps you just need a few hours of my time to get to the finish line. What a feeling it is to tick off your To Do List!
