Re dis...Hi Elsie...and thank you for your comment! Re distractibility..sometimes it helps just to work on two things at the same time, continually switching from one to the other...so you do distract but to another project...then when you find yourself being distracted there you have to go back to the first one!! This is especially good if the two projects are at different stages.<br />Plus no computers in the studio!!! or phones!!!

What great ideas, Elizabeth. You’ve given me ...Wow. What great ideas, Elizabeth. You’ve given me lots to think about. I have index cards at my piano and by my sewing machine on which I have written this advice by Bo Bennett: “Not managing your time and making excuses are two bad habits. Don’t put them both together by claiming you ‘don’t have the time’.” I’m embarrassed to say I sometimes have to remind myself of this. If I prioritize what’s really important to me, I always have enough time. If I don’t, I’m like the proverbial chicken.Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03512610756596405078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-2684985867785743842019-11-27T13:20:43.641-08:002019-11-27T13:20:43.641-08:00Wonderful tips - thank you :-)

While I like to batch, sometimes that gets me in trouble in that I put off what I could easily and quickly do and then it becomes a project. Like the idea you have about the paper. Touch it once and decide what to do with it and don't put it off to do as a batch. I think the trick is thinking through what should be batched and what should be done right away.Shelina (formerly known as Shasta)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03290945204269323129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-63059727716807702762019-11-26T19:42:53.268-08:002019-11-26T19:42:53.268-08:00Hi again, I appreciate this post. It affirms that ...Hi again, I appreciate this post. It affirms that I know what to do... like the hardest thing first, etc. After reading this and giving it some thought, I think the biggest problem is being easily distracted. ADD or lack of discipline? Either way, I need to pray lots for the ability to focus and not be interested in everything that catches my eye or pops into my head and becomes a time-waster. OR I could hire someone to hold a big whip and hold me accountable!! :-)<br /><br />bless you!Elsie Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13739927333538419518noreply@blogger.com
