Priorities is what help to be more organized at whatever activity we do. Certainly rushing things would not help at all in this regard.

That is a great idea so you can see your schedule right in front of you each day. It’s great for setting goals and staying organized!

Great article on managing a hectic lifestyle. I found with my busy schedule the best way to keep things as simple as possible is to keep a whiteboard on the fridge and every Sunday I’ll write out my schedule for the next week. I’ve been doing this for a few months now and it has really helped my general organization.

I had a really busy schedule a couple of months ago, where I was in classes and meetings, and training with a swim team. What really helped me was to start using google calendar. It really helped me to get a bigger picture of the things that I had to do to get done, and kept me very organized. I probably would have gone insane without it!

A Brown - I agree with you on this 100%. I think it is great every week or so just to do a sort of home made self assesment. Just stop and ask yourself “where am I right now in my life”, “how do I feel”? and really just take stock and control of your feelings, emotions and listen to what your body needs and is asking of you. I think “fruitful and productive” is a great substitution for the word “busy”. Most people I know who say they are “busy”, are not, they just want to be, or feel that they SHOULD be.
I was so shocked a few years back when an advert for Kellogs cornflakes promoted a new “on-the-go” cereal package (one side of cornflakes and the other milk - just whipe of the top, poor the milk and you can eat your cornflakes on the bus, train)! No one should be too busy to eat their cereal, at home, from a bowl. And if they are then they are in the wrong job.

I also agree with your comment about using technology to make time not use it it - i love the internet, email. blogs etc . . . but I know people who have made their life out of this vitual reality and no technology can beat a good walk in the park, a swim or dinner with friends and family.
