It's About Time!

When I was growing up, there was a sitcom on television called "It's About Time." The storyline was about two astronauts who broke the time barrier and ended up in caveman times. All of a sudden, time had a new meaning for them.

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by time issues, too. I jump from one project to another, while telling anyone who will listen that "I've got too much to do," and "I just don't have enough time."

Truth is, I do have enough time; I'm just not managing it well. When that happens, I try to step back and look at the big picture. I need to do some mental shifting. What's really important right now? What is the project I need to focus on right now? It's so easy to do the urgent, rather than the important, and the only way to get out of that box is take a step back and see the big picture. Then it's a lot easier for me to make priorities and manage my time.
