I love working in the morning. There's something so inspiring about getting up and heading into the office bright and early. Right now the sun is beaming in through the window and I had to put up my black cloth blocking it out!!! What a glorious Tuesday!!!!!
The other thing about working in the morning is having the office to myself. I get so much more done when I'm by myself. However today I discovered something I wish I hadn't...... I can watch full episodes of CBC programs on my computer without having to download anything. So right now I'm watching Being Erica and I'm finding it a little distracting when I'm trying to do calculations. So I think I'll pause the show until 11am when I've scheduled myself to do filing. That's the other thing I do that most people don't. Schedule stuff all day long. And I don't mean meetings or lunches. For instance, this is my Tuesday:
6:30am wake up. wake up dog.
6:45am finish making lunches. wake up dog.
7:00am drag sleepy dog to car and take her to daycare.
7:25am get a coffee.
7:45am check for phone messages.
8:00am reply to copious amounts of emails and faxes.
8:30am work on File A and get summary out to investor.
8:45am work on File B and email orginating broker.
9:00am work on File C while talking to mom on phone.
9:30am - 10am read blogs and write a blog.
10am - 11am Bank Rec Masters/MCMC for Sept-Oct and send out two NSF letters.
11am - Noon file everything including receipts.
Noon each lunch and pay bills.
1pm - 2pm respond to emails, start marketing plan/business plan for the BCSC regarding Masters and bring Rob up to speed on the day's activities/messages.
2pm - 2:30pm finish two renewal packages and send them out and help Rob with File D.
3pm complete 9K run.
4pm pick up dog.
4:30pm shower and get ready to meet Tanya.
6pm - 9pm cooking class with Tanya!!!!
9:30pm - 10pm walk dog.
I schedule everyday like that. I have so much to do and so much responsibilities that if I just float around, nothing will get done. Each moment of my day is dedicated in blocks for work. Oh, it's getting close to 10am and time to stop writing and reading blogs. On to the next task.
That is exactly what I do on days when I have a lot to do. Its such a nice feeling to feel like you are in control. I love that feeling I get when I look at the clock and see that I am way ahead of schedule. I don't know what its like to be behind, I never have been but I can only imagine!
