Post-It note organization system For a few months now I've been using a post-it note system to keep myself more organized and more on top of things and let me just say, I *puffy pink* HEART it. So here's how it works. I bought a full size planner (with 8 x 11.5" pages). I picked this one up at Office Max for about $20. The key is to get a planner big enough that you can fit small sized post-it notes on each day grid. Now, when I have anything that needs to be done, I make a post it and put it on the day it has to be done by. I keep a pack of small post-it notes in my purse and one or two on my desk. When I have an item that I've finished, I take the post-it off and clear off my day. With items that repeat each week, when I've done it, I just move it to the next week that it is due again. It's also great for keeping me on track with goals I want to reach. At then end of each month, I have a post-it to remind me to check my goals and record them on my yearly goal list.
Mind Tools - Management Training, Leadership Training and Career Training Coub Create your own virtual writing retreat | Remembering English Sadly, lately my writing has taken a backseat to everything else. So last week, I decided that I would use the long holiday weekend for an unofficial writing retreat. “Unofficial” essentially means that I didn’t need to apply, travel, or formally do anything other than pledge to write — perfect for such a last-minute decision. When I mentioned this to my friend Wendy Call, an alumna of Hedgebrook, she too was up for the idea; she’d already been part of a more formal virtual retreat, Hedgebrook Writes (a brilliant idea). Writing time is precious and necessary, but let’s face it — we can’t always leave home; we can’t always plan ahead. It was a great weekend overall, and I learned a few things that will make my next one even better. - Just do it. - Gather your fellow writers together. - Clear the decks. - Create your space. - Stay offline. - Give yourself guidelines. - Afterward, assess the pros and cons, the highs and lows. - Schedule retreats often.
Everyday Mind Mastery - Learn How to Control Mind What people are saying: Finally a course that works! - Thank you Tom for making this life-changing course available. I’ve looked at several courses over the years but never felt compelled to try one until now. My entire family took it and is busy creating our wheels so we can get started. Top Class - I'm in the middle of the course but just to shout out that its so so amazing... Brilliant!!! 'Okay, this is free?' 'Delivers more than you expect.' - Short enough to work through in one sitting but enough material to revisit and learn something new. So, what's it all about? Well, do you ever ask yourself, "I KNOW I could be doing more with my life, but HOW?" Let's face it. You join the gym in January but by the end of February... The guitar you bought is in the spare room gathering dust... You've got a copy of 'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People' on your bookshelf, you know it's a great book yet you haven't opened it since 1995... Sound familiar? That's why I created a different approach.
