Day 3 - One A Day

I'm on Day 3 and something kicked in... Some of my readers might think that those 7 Categories are just the things I'm doing in a day. (Boy I wish!!!)  As I've mentioned earlier, I promised myself to reduce stress by trying to live a balanced life this 2010.  If all the daily demands of a working mom, most of the time an aspect or more is pushed aside making one feel guilty (another source of stress).

By accomplishing 1 thing in each category, I feel that I can smile at night knowing that I didn't leave anything behind.

For today:

           Few minutes at the Etsy Forum

           Handed out business cards at the Pedia's ofc (2 birds in 1)

          1 hour "picnic" in the car with the 3 kids

          Wrote down 2010 Goals and action plan

         Arranged clothes in the kids' dressers

         Voted for a team mate's item --http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=31380376

One a Day

Happy New Year everyone!  As I say "Hi" to 2010, I can't help but feel overwhelmed with all the things I would like to do and accomplish.  Yesterday, I already had a "meltdown" and it's only Jan.3.  Yikes!  For someone who used to give trainings on Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, it's a total eye-opener. 

When things seem to be all in  the Urgent-Important grid, stress level will defintiely go off the roof.  But what would a mom of 4 (all under 7), business owner, wife do?  (I have to edit my jobs since it's not what this blog is all about =)  When prioritizing is not an option, I've decided to go with the basic I called One-a-Day.

That is doing just ONE thing on each Category and Finish (yes finish it) on that day.
1. Etsy
2. House
3. Business Promotion
4. Loose that last 20 lbs
5. Business files
6. Kids
7. my Teams

What a way to spend my 361 days...
