HELP!! I haven't been doing the best with my PC the last couple of months. I went inactive this month. I just have so much on my plate right now. I work a FT job, go to school, have 2 very active boys, have a husband who works FT too and goes to school also, and I am losing my mind on how to keep everything organized. I set a goal for myself this year to balance things better and to get more organized but so far my goal is not being met. Tell me some of your advice and what you all do. I do PC for a hobby so I don't want to do a whole lot of shows but would like to do more and have catalog shows too. The only problem with that is the people I have asked have told me I already have a PC consultant, I don't have time for a party, and the most is I am too busy. So I would again appreciate any advice you are willing to give me. Thanks
 
Get out your calendar and write in everything you do. Everyone's schedule. Then look it over and find the places that you still have open to work your business and do it during those times. That's the first step anyway.
 
Beth's right. Mark off every day that you are unavailable for shows. Mark off some personal time, too. Look over the days that are left. Choose the ones you'd like to fill with shows. Let everyone know that you're available those dates.

One helpful tip is to prioritize your tasks by urgency and importance. Make a to-do list and tackle the most pressing tasks first.

2. What are some tools or techniques for improving time management?

There are many tools and techniques available for managing time, such as creating a schedule or using a time-tracking app. Another effective technique is the Pomodoro method, which involves working for 25 minutes and then taking a 5-minute break. Experiment with different methods to find what works best for you.

3. How can I stay motivated and focused while managing my time?

One way to stay motivated is to set specific and achievable goals. This will give you a sense of purpose and direction. It's also important to take breaks and reward yourself for completing tasks. Additionally, try to eliminate any potential distractions and create a designated workspace for increased focus.

4. What should I do if unexpected tasks or events disrupt my schedule?

It's important to be flexible and adapt to unexpected changes. If possible, try to delegate or reschedule tasks to make room for the new task or event. It's also helpful to have a contingency plan in place for when unexpected events occur. Don't be too hard on yourself and remember to prioritize and adjust your schedule accordingly.

5. How can I improve my time management skills in the long term?

Time management is a skill that takes practice and consistency to improve. One way to continuously improve is to reflect on your time management habits and identify areas for improvement. It's also important to establish healthy habits, such as setting boundaries and taking breaks, to prevent burnout. Additionally, seek out resources and tools to help you stay organized and on track with your tasks.
