Managing my time

source

I won’t necessarily call myself a procrastinator, but nowadays I have been procrastinating on doing things I need to do more often than not. Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed that I have a lot on my plate but then I end up spending my time on unimportant things. So this is a call to action. I need to:

·      Curb time stealer activities such as: 

§  Watching TV bye bye judge judy

§  Facebook/twitter - actually I am not as frequent on Facebook & twitter as I used to be but still doesn’t hurt to reduce my time on these social sites even further.

§  Sleep- now this one is going to be the hardest because I love my sleep!!! Guys, any tips on how to get out of bed early? I was thinking about going to bed earlier but psychologically I see it as “yay more time in bed”. Sigh. I need help seriously

§  Blackberry chatting- apart from normal chatting, I am active on three BB groups. Go figure.

·      To help me actually do stuff I need to do I will-

§  Keep doing a to do list- outline what I need to do daily in order of priority and DO THEM.

§  Firm up my routine, and stick to it.

§  Eliminate distractions - switch phone off, switch internet off except it is needed for the work I need to do

§  Set reminders on my phone - I normally do this, just need to continue

§  Do one some task then reward myself with some play time e.g. browse online aimlessly, bb chatting or maybe TV

§  Remind my self that I don’t have to catch every ball thrown at me.

§  Delegate where I can- to Baale, my help, princess and friends.

How do you manage your time? I would love to know, maybe I can learn a thing or two and add to my list! :)

My Super Dad's day!!!- Thankful Post

source

Today is my daddy's birthday! Woo hoo!

In 2009, the devil tried some dirty tricks; he tried to steal my daddy away. Armed robbers shot my daddy in broad light! The full gist can be found here. Any time I remember that day, I just give all praise to God for his protection and faithfulness. I remember when I saw my dad the following year, he could laugh about the event while giving me the gist.

My dad is a strong man. He loves life, he loves his family and most importantly he loves God. He has sacrificed a lot, he works hard and he has his priorities placed appropriately. He has achieved a lot in his life- career, marriage, family- children, grandchildren, extended family, business, you name it. All by God's grace.

I used to quarrel/argue a lot with my dad as a teenager till I realised he wasn't out to get me, but he actually did love me and wanted the best for me. Now as a parent I am beginning to see a lot of things from their (dad & mum) perspective.

Daddy can be very dramatic sometimes, oh yes...and I have been told by some I inherited this "drama-ness" from him. Oh well! :D

I can go on and on about my super dad but I just want to thank God for my daddy's live, for watching over him. I pray he will live long to eat the fruit of his labour.

Love you Popc!!!!!!!!

Out with the Old, In with the New

We made it!!!!

Thank You Lord!!!!

Too many young people passed away last year but we are still here. Not because we are better but by God's grace. I am grateful o!!!! I am very excited about the new year- new beginnings, new opportunities, in fact everything is NEW!!!

I congratulate everyone who has made it into the new year and I pray it will be a fruitful and blessed year all round.

Oh yes! A few people begged asked for a pic of my roast chicken from Christmas day (below). Baale enjoyed it so- there you go! ;)

N.B- This is a scheduled post, so when this post goes live I would be at Church- praying my way into the new Year.
