The value of being organized

Hi there,

It is Wednesday and I have just committed to completing a long running project by next Thursday! In addition I commited to upping my marketing output. What in the world was I thinking?

Now the good thing is that I'm really a very organized person. The bad thing is I'm the Queen of Procrastination!! (That's why I had to make those commitments, no end date, no urgency to complete the task, bad girl)

One of the systems I use to stay on track and organized is a process map. I have a big blank wall in my office that I tape over with BIG pieces of paper. Then I start listing the projects and break them down. Each project has a pocket folder for any supporting data and of course there is a file on the computer.

I'm also big on outlines. I outline everything and then start to fill in the blanks. In fact the first project I will be working on is already 2/3 finished. I just need to fill in the details on the orginal outline. Piece of cake - HA

The second one might take a little more thought and effort. I have to get out of my office and mingle with the public! I wonder would sitting in a coffee shop count, hmmm. Whatever it takes I will do it. After all this is how I'm building my business.

Anyone interested in meeting for coffee (tea's my bev of choice) early next week? I'm available.

Cheers,
Coach Linda B
