If you're like me I usually have too many things on my plate to accomplish in any reasonable time, if you laid things end to end. Ok, what to do today?
First be sure to prioritize based on due dates and items that others are involved in. Is an entire project being stalled because you haven't edited a piece of copy or forwarded an image, for example?
Have you not returned the call of a prospect? That could take 5 minutes, even if all you do is say, I can't give you the time you deserve at this moment, but I wanted you to know I haven't forgotten you.
If a little bit of time will give you more time, then spend that. And remember, when the time is right for a project, or an item on your list, you'll want to work on it. It will be easy. Sometimes the sense of holding back or procrastination is actually a clue that things aren't in place yet. Give it a stress free minute to come together.
Know that there's always enough time for what's important, and you'll find that there is.
