Today I had planned to get up and workout. Plans went awry, chaos ensued, and my window to workout has come and gone. Thanks to a computer glitch I had to spend my morning workout window redoing research for the interior deisgn firm that I work for. I'm only alloted four hours each day to work for the firm so I was pretty ticked off when my computer decided to shut own in the middle of my research project. Document recovery was no use in this instance because I made a rookie mistake and had forgotten to save my work as I added information to the spreadsheet. Thank you McAfee!
It can get pretty overwhelming trying to work several jobs and meet deadlines on time. I couldn't get to sleep last night thinking about everything that I had to get done for the week. And as the clock kept ticking away the time on my nightstand I realized that if I'm going to make this multiple job/multiple task situation work long-term then I was going to have to set aside blocks of time each day of the week in order to make sure that I have enough time for each task.
After scouring the internet for a great layout to use that was simple, functional, and aesthetically appealing I came across a screen shot of this:
I have an iPhone but I thought it would also be great to work up something similar to this in Excel, print it out, and put it on my wall by my desk. Then I would literally have my schedule for the week at a glance on my wall. How do you stay organized and on top of deadlines?
