1. List 2 accomplishments this week Cleaned out the craft area in the dinning room, worked out 3 days this week
2. Did you over come something this week? If so share this with us. Managed to take things less seriously this week and enjoy things more, and have more fun with the kids.
3. What is something that happened unexpectedly. A few things came up that I didn’t exactly expect however I took them and figured they are things that I can’t control they happened and since I can’t change the past to just accept them and move on and try to change the future.
4. What was the highlight of your week? This week would probably have to be when I was helping Brendan study for his spelling test and he knew how to spell all the words. Or having a fun time at dinner with my Mother-in-Law and her friend with the family.

Her prescription was get more sleep and exercise. Both something I knew I had to do to both help me mentally but also help me physically, I am starting to get fluffy again. For me depression turns in to eating snacks usually salty and/or chocolaty snacks at that, I know not a good thing.  I guess it is a step knowing this problem I have. Just taking all of this one day at a time.

So I broke out the Wii Fit again to start there.  I am taking it slowly and not overly pushing myself. Did a work out today and felt better afterward, just got to keep it up. Talked to Alin’s girlfriend and she said that if I want to we can be workout buddies, Something I am going to think about doing. I think it will help.

Ned and I also discussed getting a bike to help with the exercise but also with getting out of the house and getting fresh air. Because seriously I will sit in the house for days if not weeks if he don’t force me to go out. So this can help at least get me outside. I am glad he is here on my side supporting me.

Since Jeff has been in this mood, that he has been in, it has been even harder for me to do anything for myself so yesterday I went and got my hair cut I like it so far its nice and short yet long enough to still pull back. It felt good to go out and do something for myself. I am going to work on myself more especially now that the kids are all in school. I am going to exercise, and try to get out of the house more.

Thanks for Stopping By

A Necessary Evil

Organization is not a fun thing to do, but it is necessary to keep your business ship running smoothly. Some view it as grunt work – shuffling papers, creating databases, setting up calendars. It is all the reason why some businesses fail while others succeed.

When business is riding high, there is very little time to attend to the organization of things. You say that you will get to it, but never do. There are simply not enough hours in the day. So, you manage with the organizational structure (or the lack thereof) that you have until you can do better.

Even if you aren’t organized now and are going through a high in your business and can’t find the time to get that way, don’t give up. You can still put your business in tip top shape. Here’s one way. Periods of slow sales are the perfect time to get a workable organization going within your business. Think of it this way: You can find several ways to save and make money through this process. So, instead of feeling sorry for yourself or fretting about the drop in sales, get up and get moving.

Maintaining a positive attitude helps you to see this time in your business career as an opportunity. People are more cautious about buying. If they buy, there needs to be a compelling argument behind the product. Getting all your ducks in a row, so to speak, can help you meet that need.

Find the Hidden Money

Businesses often find a black hole in the area of supplies and man hours. This is because of a lack of streamlining business processes. If five people are doing one process, then you are paying four for nothing. Find ways to revamp the flow of your business so that your staff can be better utilized. Who says that each person has to do only one job?

An employee with multiple skills has job security. They can function in several areas in a pinch. That is saving you money.

You will save on paper products when you turn over many of the day-to-day tasks to software programs. Calendars on your computer keep you current with projects. Sharing them through programs like Google Docs, gives the right people access to them so they can do their jobs accordingly.

How about time tracking? Using time tracking software can show you where you are losing money on projects. This gives you the opportunity to examine the why behind it.

Hire a virtual assistant. If you are an army of one, it is hard to tend to the marketing tasks and the office duties all at once. Plain and simple, you’ll never catch up and you’re losing money. A virtual assistant will only bill for hours worked (not time at the water cooler) and you get to spend more time making money instead of losing it.

Organization is important to any business. When you have slow periods stay positive and proactive by streamlining your business for greater success.
