Schedule Changes

Use that back to school feeling to your advantage!
September brings the subtle change of seasons and the not so subtle change of schedules. Even those without school-age children can get a sense that it’s time for a change. We challenge you this month to simplify your schedule, stop over-scheduling and take some time for your self. Here are a few recommendations on how to get control of your schedule from High Octane Women by Sherrie Bourg Carter, PsyD:
Book like a therapist. Make appointments that are 50 minutes long, leaving 10 minutes of flex time to return calls, e-mails or to simply take a few minutes to stop and pause.
Get real. Trim the obligations that are causing you more angst and pain than they are worth. Ask yourself, “What was my original goal when I signed up for this?” If this task or obligation doesn’t answer that question, it’s time to drop it.
Focus. Put an end to multi-tasking and focus on one thing at a time.
Put yourself on the calendar. Write or type yourself in, even if it’s just for a 10-minute break, walk, talk or laugh. And DON”T cancel it!
Use this month’s momentum to make the changes that really can make a difference in both your personal and professional life.
