Ok...so here it is...a huge flaw in my design:
I tend to run late!
I know, shocking for a professional organizer to admit. But it's true. I try to fit so much into such a short period of time...that I actually end up running late for appointments and meetings sometimes.
And for this I apologize because I know it's not fair on the other person's time. This is definitely something I've battled with my entire life and something I am still working on.
So, let's try and work on this together. For those out there suffering the same setback...let's do this:
If we think it will take us 30 minutes to get ready for our day, we should really leave ourselves 45 minutes...leave room for the unexpected things to happen.
If you think it will take you 10 minutes to drive to your destination...give yourself 15 or 20 minutes...unfortunately traffic and accidents happen.
If you think you can do the dishes before you go out, and it should only take 10 minutes, and you have only 8...rethink your plan of action. Because most likely this task will cause you to run late and set you back the rest of the day.
Again, always leave room for the unexpected. I know from experience I always get held up by a phone call, a mess the cats made, bad hair day, whatever the case may be.
I'm going to give this a try...are you?
I look forward to your comments.
