Random Thoughts
Where did Monday go?

I just realized this morning, as I slowly woke up at 6a.m., that it was Tuesday. That means some of the things I had planned to do yesterday didn’t get done.
I guess that goes back to my problem with time management that I mentioned yesterday. I have a list of things that I want to accomplish, but don’t ever seem to get them all done on the day I have them planned. For instance, every Monday I listen to Kelly McCausey on Work At Home Talk Radio but for some reason, I completely forgot to do that yesterday. Oh, I know I can go back and listen later, or even to the archives, and I do when I miss it. But it just bothers me that I didn’t get that done. (I have gone back and listened to the show today. Awesome show, as always. You might want to check it out if you’re interested in working from home.)
I have my list of things to do today. Maybe if I let others know what I hope to accomplish, I’ll actually work harder at getting it done. So, here’s my list:
1. Post on blog (in the process, soon to be done)
2. Listen to WAHMTalkRadio podcast. (done)
3. Edit a website (1 1/2 hours) I actually spent 3 hours on this
4. SEO work (1 hour, more if I have the time)
5. Link exchange emails (1 1/2 hours) I actually spent 2 1/2 hours on this
Well, I think that’s all I want to accomplish today. I’ll try to get back later and let you know how things went.
I’m off to work on my “to-do” list. Hopefully I can come back and change that to a “ta-da” list, instead. Have a great Tuesday!
It’s about 10:30p.m. and I thought I’d come back and let you know how I did with my “to-do” list. Check it out! I actually did pretty good.
Since I didn’t get to item #4, I guess I start with that tomorrow. I feel pretty good about what I accomplished, though, since I did more work than I had planned on getting done.
