Too Busy?

I received a repeat assignment from my husband today.

I have neglected to get to updating our publishing site, and my husband is feeling the pain.

"How are we going to advertise it, if it's still incomplete?" he asked.

I finally put it on my list today.

Let's get serious. Whatever is on a list manages to get done. Those things merely in my mind have a tendency to drift away to nothingness. Either I forget, or something ELSE gets put in the things place.

I like lists. They keep me organized and keep my mind straight. Every morning when my mind swirls with all of the things that need to get done, I stop the swirling motion by writing what I have to do: down.

And then I get going.

What do you do when you feel as if you're too busy?

I write about it in my journal to clear my head then look at my list and see what is my priority-always considering that maybe I need less on my list and simplifying my life!

Thank you for your comment.

Kathryn is a lover of words and a bearer of mood swings. When she is feeling the need to inspire, she writes a Christian fiction book. If a mystery is waiting to be uncovered, she finds it. If something otherworldly is finding its way through her fingertips, she travels to it.

Kathryn has been a reader since she was a young child. Although she took classes in writing as a teen, it wasn't something she really thought would become her career until she was married. And even then, it took a few more years for something worthy enough to publish to manifest itself.

Kathryn's first book was published in 2002. Since then, many other books have found their way out of her head depending on the sort of day she is having. Kathryn is a journalist, a teacher, a mentor, an editor, a publisher, and a marketer.

Her greatest joy, other than writing her next book, is meeting with readers and authors who enjoy the craft of writing as much as she does.
