Yesterday I told you about OVERWHELM... Today I try to fix it.
First thing I'd tell someone else to do is: Let's find ONE THING to clean up.
Choosing WHICH THING to clean up and organize is a challenge as well. HOWEVER... I've chosen: MY TO DO LIST. The damn thing has gotten so big that I can't even look at it. The sight of it makes me ill.... The current list has over THREE HUNDRED ITEMS. THREE FREAKIN' HUNDRED.
How did it get this big???? MICROSOFT OUTLOOK - that's how.... Most of these are emails that require me to do something. I click the little flag on it - it's now a task - I put a category on it (So that I believe at least I have a categorized mess) and that's how it has grown and grown.
OK...
Here's what I'm willing to do. I have a couple of hours free this morning. I'm going to tackle the son of a bitch.... Let's see if I can get this TO DO LIST down to something that's manageable and real.
I'll report back tomorrow.... Wish me luck... |
