Hello and welcome to my first blog,
Please let me first of all induce myself, my name is Ann and I live in Staffordshire (UK). I have a wonderful family, a husband and two young children. I am like most with a family, if I am not running around after my children, I am working. I do feel very lucky that I can be a little flexible with my children and I do most of the time get to work round them. I have learnt from running my own business and trying give my children what they need, that I have to use time management very effectively. I have tried many things to try get everything done in the day and I have got to say not all have been effective. I have felt at times very frustrated that I needed to do things and really should have done, but time has some how disappeared. I felt a bit like a headless chicken, running around and not getting anywhere fast. So with a lot of trial and error. My latest and got say working well at the moment is reminders and lists. It does sounds a little crazy and my husband has made quite a few comments about them (as they do go off quite often), but I remember to get jobs done. This all began by writing list of all the jobs I had to do that day and then creating time slots for each job. I have now developed on this and put hourly reminders on my phone for the daily jobs and therefore beeps at me when I should be completing different tasks. I do get a lot of work done in the evenings and before I go to bed I write a list tasks/ jobs for the next day and time each for task. I am siting hear and it does sound very controlled (and very crazy), but I feel that I am moving forward everyday with getting thing done and most importantly sorted.
I would love to hear other peoples ways that they manage their time or any tips/ ideas anybody may have.
Very best wishes
Ann
