Three Tips to Manage Your Life

To get your mind prepared for the "How To Beat A Bad Hair Day" teleseminar on the 29th, here's a quick look at some practical ways to run your schedule so that your schedule doesn't run you!

1. Work with a calendar...one calendar. Try to stay away from having different calendars. Take the kids' sports calendar, school events, hubby's work schedule, church happenings, birthdays, doctors appointments and put them all into one calendar. This will eliminate over-booking and over-comitting yourself simply because you didn't have all your information in one place.
2. Evaluate your intentions and motivations before agreeing to another "to do" on your to do list. Why are you agreeing to put something else on your already full plate? When you are stretched thin and stressed out, why committ to more? If you are finding that you say "yes" simply because you feel obligated, that is not a reason to say "yes". If agreeing to head up another committee is your way of instilling worth and value for yourself, that is a superficial way of establishing your security and significance. Beware!
3. Know how you are going to say "no" before you have to say "no". My momma always told me that it is best to know how to say "no" to drugs, alcohol, peer pressure, sex, etc before you find yourself in a compromising situation. Be prepared. The same lesson goes for saying "no" with our time. If you are one who has trouble saying "no" when asked to be apart of something, develop a "no" answer before you are faced with the question. That way you are prepared and not caught off guard or worse, find that you've committed to something you really don't want to do.

These are just some quick tips to help you gain some control on life. There is plenty more where this came from as well as some practical ways to implement these suggestions. Catch more on the FREE Teleseminar, Feb 29th at 7:00pm (see events tab for more info!)
