If you’ve ever had a kid in travel sports, you know what I’m talking about! I’ve been standing in mud so long, watching my son’s play football that I thought my toes would fall off. Quick run to Target during halftime, and got myself a new pair of rain boots and the boys some snacks, all while listening to an audible on habits.
You multi-task, E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G! But, is that okay? Are you really getting anything done by multi-tasking? There are studies that say no, and studies that say sure you are! The difference for me is: do I have to THINK about what I’m doing? If no, then I can easily multi-task, so I batch together things that I can do easily without thinking: cleaning up the data on my phone, deleting emails, addressing notes to send to friends (Tracey, I owe you many notes!), etc.
What doesn’t work to multi-task? Strategy, composing complicated email answers, creating long blog posts:) Insert what you find difficult here and create dedicated time to do it. When the weekend comes, it’s my time to actually pour myself into my business: writing my content for the week, doing all the stuff I’d said I was going to do during the week but didn’t get to, plus catching up with my boys and my man Jim.
I follow Corinne Crabtree, she is hilarious, inspiring and a hard-ass! She makes me laugh and want to get up and do stuff, she was talking about this concept today of reverse-engineering your weekend. Now, I never really thought about it this way before. I’ve always looked at my mountain of a to-do list and by Sunday, mostly got it done, but feel exhausted or was too overwhelmed and watched Netflix.
So, this weekend, I’m trying something different: I’m going to reverse-engineer my weekend. By Sunday nite, how do I want to feel? Accomplished, relaxed from the weekend, closer to my kids, and in the heady cloud of love with my man. How am I going to get there? Well, to feel accomplished, I’m going to have a smaller to-do list of only the essentials, workout and soak in my jacuzzi tub, plan a brunch date with my kiddos, and a date date with my man. If I accomplish all of these, I will feel exactly the way I described.
I challenge you to reverse-engineer your weekend & tell me how you’re going to do it & what success you had! Good luck & happy weekend:)
I like what you guys are up too. Such smart work and reporting! Carry on the superb works guys I’ve incorporated you guys to my blogroll. I think it will improve the value of my website :).
Hi Caroll, thank you for your smart comment, do you have a blog or website that I can follow back?
With havin so much written content do you ever run into
any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My site has a lot of exclusive content
I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it appears
a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement.
Do you know any solutions to help reduce content
from being ripped off? I’d genuinely appreciate it.
Hi Linette, thanks for your comment, you can certainly put a written notice on your site that all content is copyright protected. Otherwise, I would see it as a compliment that so many people like your content! Hope that helps:)
I share your view for the large part, I think that a
few points are worth using a more sophisticated appearance to
comprehend what’s happening.
Thanks for your comment, Neher!
