You’re right, Katherine – it’s default of my thought processes!

It’s true everything can be resisting the change you want to make – from others around you to your own mind.

I hope my struggle with this issue is over soon. I’d rather make money.

I found that the most tasks are time consuming and it is so easy to loose focus when there are so many distractions that call on ones attention.

Best Wishes,

Okay Lynn I wish you the best and success in your endeavors this year. But if you won’t find it irritating, do let us know as you move.

Cheers.

It is frustrating, Alan – I agree. I spent most of my first 10 years working in chaos, but really feel like I finally have a handle on things this last year or two – mainly since reading Julie’s book on organization (you may recall I revamped my entire home office down to the desk!).

Everything you want to do takes time, and I want to do a lot so I’m working towards total efficiency. That of course includes my personal goals and my personal life – and striking a smooth balance between enjoying life and reaching my goals.

I need to talk Julie into joining us for a Webinar

This is a subject that is constantly on my mind since my time and organizational skills suck! Sorry for being so blunt but it’s frustrating. I right away ordered those books from Julie Morgenstern. I haven’t heard of her before but I need all the help I can get. Great post as usual Lynn!

Hi Lynn,

I am new to your blog but certainly time management is important. I always think that I can manage my time well but always still find that my projects or task schedules always overrun.

I certainly need to read this book and learn how to manage my time better.

Great points, Katherine – and I agree on being very clear on the WHY. It is best to focus on the results that you want, instead of the work or the sacrifice involved.

Thank you Patrick I am quitting during the same time I am moving. I find that big life change (like a move) is the best time to make other changes in your life that are part of your personal routine. It makes the transition easier!

Okay Lynn, please try to do QUIT. You know, smoking not good for health.

Though I know it is ‘enjoyable’ and could be somewhat addictive which may make quiting very difficult.

Just try

I think whenever we try to change something our rebellious side kicks in. To change, we have to start by admitting that whatever it is isn’t working for us and that can be hard. We have to step outside our comfort zones. We are also fighting against brain chemistry – when we do something habitually our brain lays down pathways so we have to continually fight against our default thought processes. To successfully make any change we have to get very clear on our why. The bigger our why, the greater the chance of success.

It addresses that too, Heather – I’m re-reading it myself Julie really does have some great solutions. Since I read her organization book last year I have remodeled my entire home office – and she was right: Its MUCH more productive and efficient for me!

I’m studying her time management book again now as I’m working on some new goals (both business and personal) this year and really want to streamline things as much as humanly possible. That’s what inspired this post. I was analyzing all of the systems and methods to determine the best route for me personally, and taking note of what hadnt worked for me in the past – and why.

Yes, but Iâ€™m quitting this year

Me too, Lynn! No really good luck with that.

I too am very able to get myself organized, and for organization can even stay on track with it. My time management skills start out great but can head south pretty quick when everyone seems to want a piece of me at the same time.

Might be a good book for me to check out.
