What have you been putting off?

Martha Beck has an amusing saying: "Never put off 'til tomorrow what you can cancel altogether."

If you're feeling overwhelmed, take another look at your schedule / To Do list.

What can be cancelled?

What can someone else do?

What will you feel better for doing yourself?

If you don't already have a scheduling or To Do list system that works for you, free your brain now and write everything you can think of down.

I'd find it hard to function without my page to a day diary (I'm one of those people who loves ticking things off when completed). Some people like electronic planners, others, wall planners and some keep long lists which they add to and manage even though it may look chaotic from the outside. Some people write things down on their hands.

PostIt notes can help you get organised. If you know certain things have to be done but you're not yet sure when they need to be done or who by, PostIts can help you be more flexible with them without worrying about losing track.

You know yourself best. Experiment and hone your system so it supports you.
