I start off Mondays as "domestic Monday." I usually have worked Sunday - open houses, people who can only get in on the weekend, etc. But somehow Monday mornings have turned out to be a good time to get some things done. I do the bills, do the wash (nice to work at home), and run errands - post office, Kinney's, store sometimes. The day falls apart rapidly after 10:00, but I can generally get the bills and banking done.
Today is no exception. The photo is the view out the back of my office (that I call a studio). It beckons and Sheba and I will certainly walk out sometime today. But until then I will work through my morning.
Bills and banking, setting the timer for 45 minutes. When it goes off, I take a five minute break and do the wash. Good exercise, up and down those stairs! And a clearing of the head.
Another 45 minute section - the hotsheet, office voicemail check, and then work e-mails. Then another break, during which these days I eat a banana which is my "coffee break."
From then on it might be errands or continuing onto the e-mails until lunch - but timed, so I don't get lost. This is a suggestion I got from the Buffini Turning Point last June which has worked tremendously.
And so the timer says my 15 minutes to blog are up - and I will start the day!
