Getting things Done!

This is just my ramble for a Saturday….It’s all about time management and multitasking. Isn’t it amazing how much can be experienced in such a short amount of time! So much can get done!!!

For example, when my babysitter is here on Thursday’s, I zoom around town, click on my computer, check in at the office, throw in some laundry and presto…I’m done! Sometimes (everyday), I set the timer on my microwave for 10 minutes. Then, I will allot that amount of time to get the dishes and kitchen table cleared. It’s amazing how much you can get done!

Today, Roger watched Alan, so this morning, I ran to the library (where I could actually look at books without pictures and browse!), worked out at the gym, went to the store, cleaned up, cooked lunch, etc etc etc! It’s nice to have that time to roam!

During Alan’s nap, Roger stayed home, and I went to the store, went for a walk…basically got things done! While most people enjoy the meditative state of relaxation when they have some time off, I enjoy the energy of doing things.…Yes, I’m a bit high strung, but I like that….

I'll need this energy tomorrow to speed clean to prepare for the "meet and greet"....should be fun!

The way I will wind down is through some live music tonight at the John Street Jam. My friend Jules (a musician who will be playing there in the upcoming months), will be meeting me here momentarily. How much can I get done until she gets here??? Let me take a breathe!!!
