STAYING FOCUSED

Hi!!

The last time I blogged was on the day my son got
his L's, that should tell you something, yes, I have
another hat to wear, this hat fits quite nicely, of which
I am very thankful , being number 5 child, I have worn
it a few times before, and I even think its feeling
comfortable. (Just don't ask him, he thinks I should
give it back to the army).

Staying focused - wow, there is SO much life to stay
focused on as a busy mum, we can multi-task and
do it very well but we get a bit stretched when we
are multi-tasking our multi-tasking, you all know
what I mean, its when we have 10 things on the go
and we forget to cook dinner, pick up the kids,
get dressed or whatever else we probably should
have done. ( Kids like to get picked up, I know this
because we got a phone call from youth group at
10pm last night with our son saying "Mum, did
you forget something?)haha.

It is impossible for me to stay focused on my day
if I don't have it written in front of me, mainly
because, I love life and I love the surprises that
come along each day to season my life but I also
love to know that I have completed the tasks that
I have already set before me usually weeks ago
when I have spent time working on a life plan for
myself. Sound like too much hard work? Well it
works for me, so much better than leaving things
to chance that I might get it finished.

When I have my life planned out, it is easy for
me to say yes or no to the things that enter into
my life through the many channels that are
available these days, phone, mobile, internet,
mail.

At the end of the day, I can have a quick look
at my list and see if I have completed what I
wanted to, its good to see that I have been
busy, even better to see that I actually got
things done!
