​

Short and Sweet!!

​

As the summer days (vacation days, bbqs, beaches, mountains, and fun times with family/friends) give way to September ( Back-to-school ); Autumn; End-of-year goals – are YOU ready to settle down? Who is coming: 2024!!!

​

What projects need completing? What projects need to be dropped?

Need to delegate?

Do you have the supplies you need?

Are your contacts in order for this last push of 2023?

Are there some courses you need to take; or a certification you need to obtain?

Get busy – draft it out – put dates to it and get it scheduled.

Happy July – – Everyone!!

Partial correction – the FEEDSPOT link was not as active as it should have been!! My apologies.

“I was notified on 4 June 2023 that the Coaching by GJ Blog is #30 of 80 Time Management Blogs on FEEDSPOT. So Cool.” {Hyperlink is functional – now.}

I had to find my own way and reason. I don’t want to half-listen and I am quite comfortable in my own head – so I am quite particular ‘who’ I will listen to. I don’t even have music on my phone. Everybody – so it seems – has a podcast. Like television (how many shows can you watch) – how many podcasts can you listen to? Even I have a series out there – “Take Back Your Time with GJ”! (Spotify/Anchor) {take a listen}!

But what are you listening to? And, more importantly – WHY? Is the information improving you in a meaningful way?

My decision to listen to select persons is now occurring because I am a part of their community, and I have space when doing a particular keyboarding task that affords me time to listen – and so I do.

First: I was notified on 4 June 2023 that the Coaching by GJ Blog is #30 of 80 Time Management Blogs on FEEDSPOT. So Cool. [https://blog.feedspot.com/time_management_blogs/] OK … back to business.

I am a Time Management Coach – BUT, Time can NOT be managed!!!!! YIKES. ‘What’s a Girl to do?’

“I will learn to ‘craft’ my time – then”. Make it to be what you need for it to be. When you craft something, what are you doing: shaping, building to your specification or someone else’s? You bring your skill to bear on the subject – in this case, ‘time’.

Do you handle it properly?? Are you focused? Do you schedule important dates and meetings? Do you work on THE ESSENTIALS? Or, are you running around like “a chicken with its head cut off”!!! Then before you know it – the sand is out of the bottle – NO MORE TIME.

Are you making use of Time Blocking, Pomodoro, or Eisenhower Box for determining your important and urgent priorities? It is mid-June and where are you with regard to your January goals? April goals?

NO – I will not need to go out of business. Need some pointers – contact me.

​

In closing – A thought from Francis Wade‘s ‘Remember and Share file’ ~ “We each have a timed-based productivity system we created in our teens, with little or no formal training or coaching.”

Greetings!! Happy May. Trust all is well, with visions of vacations being planned. I have 2 in the works and 1 for the last Quarter. And, of course, completed 1 in early March.

But, we are here now to talk about Theme(s). They are a way to keep you focused and on task. A way to name your month, week and day. You can use time blocking and Pomodoro.

Based on your goals, you set your Monthly Theme. Schedule things in each week and/or day. I have Tuesday and Thursday for study days (chapters in a course I purchased or reviewing a time management topic or researching a challenge that a client has). If something unexpected happens – that will take precedence over your normal day.

Nothing is cast in stone – but you have to put strong guides in place to keep your FOCUS while accomplishing what you need. Every month does not need a theme. But your week or days can be designated for maximum effects. Monday or Friday could be an Admin day. Tuesday – a meeting day with clients or client ‘welfare’ call day. Thursday – Social day (make videos; do your podcast; do postings). Try it. See what will work best for you. Also, free your weekends for family and friends and rejuvenate your mind and spirit.

Hope that you did “Spring … into something” ~ since last Month. And now that we are in Spring and have celebrated Easter – what are YOU building?

I am building!! An opportunity that had been knocking on my door [for 7 months] was finally recognized!! And I have seized upon it. Is there something that YOU need to realize is “calling to YOU”? Where do you need to increase? It could be more peace, stability, business connections, better health habits, – anything your heart desires!!

Search your heart – what are YOU hearing? Investigate! Then, act and build. Need a new job, qualified clients, need larger living space, opportunities for travel; – pray, set your plan in motion, and follow your instincts. There are always bumps in life’s road; follow after peace and you will reach your destination … happily!

In closing – A thought from Francis Wade‘s ‘Remember and share file’ ~ “Coaching yourself is sometimes the only option, and if it is, use best practices to achieve superior results.”

Happy March. Ready or not, we are 2 1/2 months into 2023. How are you coming along? Hopefully, you are making progress on your goals.

I find that often we get tripped up in getting STARTED. So, draft a plan for what you want to tackle and get started.

See in your mind’s eye – where you will be when you accomplish what your goals are.

Stay steady on completing your steps. You don’t need ‘luck’ – you need to carry out your planned ideas!!!

I will leave you with this question from James Clear, author of Atomic Habits: “The ‘thing’ that I am unhappy about ~ is it actually hard to change OR is it simply hard to have the COURAGE to change it?” Need short-term coaching, please contact me.

Trust this finds you ‘in motion’ working with focus and discipline to accomplish your goals.

Know what it takes for you to get organized and then to stay on task – 1 task at a time.

Multi-tasking is definitely over-rated. And you wear yourself out. It is hard enough when you get interrupted to have to take 15-20 minutes to remember exactly where you were in your process when you got interrupted!

And if you are multi-tasking when you get interrupted … WOW.

Take charge and put your boundaries in place. Then, defend them! You will be tested.

Happy New Year ~ 2023 Hope all is going well as you start your new year.

Please start slow. Give yourself time to implement the changes you want. Work out the kinks in your plans. Try it on for size, adjust where you need to, and keep it moving.

Let January be your ‘easing into month’. Do build in your “ME” time, as it is most important in the fast-paced times we live.

A quote from James Clear, author of ATOMIC HABITS ~ “Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become! No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity.” Do think about that. This is YOUR new year!!!

Review your week on Saturday – how did it go and make any necessary adjustments. Update your calendar for the coming week.

Have a delightful MONTH. See you on 16 February.

We made it. Happy Holiday Season 2022. I wish for everyone to have a delightful holiday time this year. Be safe and have fun with friends and family. I will be back in the New Year of 2023. {17 January} Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year … and Happy Birthday thoughts (to me) on 3 January!!

​

I will leave you a couple of winning techniques to end your year and get started on solid footing for 2023:

Always work from your best energy – handling your hardest tasks when your energy is highest. Develop your plan based on your priorities. Delegate where necessary. If a process is no longer needed – STOP doing it. Make use of technology that helps you streamline your systems. Then – just DO IT!!

Remember the pace of your life is, for the most part, the results of your decisions. Stephen Covey said, “You will never be able to say ‘no’ until there is a greater ‘yes’ burning inside of you.”
