”Energy is the essence of life. Every day you decide how you’re going to use it by knowing what you want and what it takes to reach that goal, and by maintaining focus.” ~Oprah

As a working mother of two boys, there are days where I am “time challenged”.

It can sometimes feel like a lot…

Like most moms, I keep a “to do” list. I review my list everyday to make sure that I am targeting all of my priority items (personal, family and career).

Keeping a “to do” list and sticking to it has taken a big weight off of my shoulders.

Putting things on a “to do” list helps you separate the “have to do’s” from “like to do’s”. It also brings attention to the nonsense things on your list that do not line up with your goals (and need to come off the “to do” list).

By keeping a “to do” list, I realized that there are days when only my “have to do’s” get done and some days when I have to say “no” to people. This is okay. There is always tomorrow.

How do you manage through days that are “time challenged”?
