Keeping All the Plates Spinning

Keeping All the Plates Spinning

People ask me all the time, “How do you do all that you do?”

Well, it’s not easy.

It takes organization and I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to sorting stuff.

So here’s what I do.

At night, I write down the next day’s To Do List in my daytimer. That way I don’t worry about them all night.

If something keeps me awake, I turn on the light and enter in the appropriate place to be acted on in my daytimer.

Then the next day, I get up and take a walk.

Unless it’s deer season, I walk in the woods with the dog. I spend the early morning listening to the wind in the leaves, the birds in the trees.

It doesn’t matter if some tasks are business-related and some concern the family. I put all the appointments, classes, lessons outside the home and conference calls on the schedule.

Then I walk through them one at a time.

I also prioritize them with family first, then business.

If you want to be a successful entrepreneur, learn to keep all the plates spinning all at the same time.

You can do it! You are a multi-faceted organizational machine!

So go for it!

So many books, so little time…
