Hi My name is Frances and I'm a slacker.

One of the many things I do poorly is organize myself. I'm great at organizing other people. I seriously suck at doing the same for myself. But dammit! I'm determined to be better at it. I must be better at it. My poor time management is really starting to trip me up personally and professionally.

Right now I'm juggling:
Mommyhood-Terrible Two's anyone?
House Management - Oh wait was that bill due yesterday or next week? No..no...no puppy
don't pee on the carpet, dishes... must muster the strength for dishes.
The Coffeehouse-part time barista, talent booker, webmaster, on-line store manager, organizer
The Chamber- Executive Director, Gal Friday for Community Organizations.
Web Designer - I'm an amateur web designer in a town of organizations desperate for web
presence equals oh about 5 websites people need built.

That's just the pressing day to day stuff. don't get me started on the wife, friend, sister and daughter must do list.


They say that it takes 30 days to create a new habit. I don't expect a miracle. I know I'm never going to be perfect at it. I have realized however that I MUST create a daily schedule that covers all my bases while allowing for a little mommy flexibility and once that schedule is created I cannot deviate from it. It's do or die time my friends...DO OR DIE!

Starting today I'm committing to getting myself organized, to better managing my time and I'm hoping that you can share some of the things that you've managed to do well when it comes to time management or organization. Any morsel of advice or tip action would be most appreciated. Every little bit helps. I'll keep you posted on my progress.
