I worked much of the day — much of my first full day on an “early bird” schedule” — on something that’s been one of “the three tasks” for quite a while, but I think I’ve finally got it! I think I’ve finally got a better version of my “Daily Block Schedule”!!
Through the years, I’ve been working with “Daily Block Schedules”, which are my attempts at trying to get myself organized enough to follow through on the tasks needed to accomplish goals that I’ve set for myself. I’d love to be able to say that these schedules have been effective, but I can’t. I don’t think the “Daily Block Schedules” themselves are to blame. Instead, I suspect that it’s my inability to stay focused on the tasks in these schedules. There have been times (many times, sadly) that I’ll start the day and get through the first couple of blocks, and then distraction hits, leaving me totally distracted and far from accomplishing everything.
Well… Today, I created what I think — hope — will be an effective “Daily Block Schedule” — after going through many, many notes on what should be included, how long each task should take, and how long each of the various blocks should be. I checked — and double-checked — everything in my notes, so I’m hoping I’ve taken as much as possible into consideration and that THIS plan WILL work for me. But… As I’m so fond of saying, only time will tell how successful it’ll be for me…
I’ll certainly keep you posted, but, in the meantime, I’d love to hear any suggestions or tips that have worked for you when it comes to getting — and staying — organized enough to accomplish your goals. Please leave me a comment below.
Until later, take care!
