Before I became a professional organizer, I was often overwhelmed with gazillions of the things I had to do every day, to the point of extreme exhaustion. If I do not make it part way through each day's list, I'd kick and complain it's too much to do in too little time! "My days seem to be a constant battle in trying to get things done.
Since I started advising others on how to be better organized, I have researched the techniques and tricks to deal with lists and keep on top of time so that I can help my clients stay focused and on track with their daily tasks.
if you are struggling to meet deadlines and complete high value tasks, the important thing to remember is to never cross everything off your to do list. Life is continuous, and we will always have their responsibilities, obligations to uphold and, unfortunately, bills to pay!
