I have to close windows also, especially when I do my homework. I have learned lately with so much going on that I have to allow myself time to jump around and just do... Yet I have to say if the past few months I can finally say I am finishing things that I start. It is a very nice accomplishment.

I got distracted while listening to this can you believe! Yes I get scattered so I use lists and my google calender to try and keep on track. I also have to close windows or I get distracted as I just did! I am way better than I used to be......So now I am finishing this commenting, posting last weeks videos and then cleaning!

I always start my day with meditation grounding myself in Truth- this balances my day and allows me to be led. I take time out throughout my day to pause and be still to continue the balance, this makes for a harmonious day.

My tip: Having a large wall calendar and scheduling your entire year, including your editorial calendar and sales activities.

I go through spurts with organization. But I've been there and done that with the computers.  Having to reload everything. As to passwords, I have a spreadsheet I printed out with them and all pages have new signons with passwords. Time to redo my password sheet and reprint them!

This is my achilles heel, so I can totally relate (and.. I refuse to ignore the bottle of wine like you told us, I took it as a hint that I need to stop and have a glass!)

I have a folder in my bookmark bar that is my "Daily Operation" and I go through that one by one and get my tasks done. Then, and only then, can I move on to other projects. (Oh, and the bookmark bar, and everything else about my computer, is stored in the Cloud.... love cloud computing!!)

Great piece, thanks, Beverly!

Hi Beverly....I just had a conversation with one of my clients about the subject of multi-tasking and how multi-tasking is not very efficient. She is a physical therapist that works with brain injuries. There are brain studies that prove that multi-tasking is inefficient because when we multi-task, there is not enough down-time to process the task at hand with clarity and cognitive rest in-between each task. Her advice: Basically, it is better to do one thing at a time with rest in between.

Beverly, thank you for this powerful advice! I am notorious for starting something and not finishing because I lose interest. Typically it's not the critical stuff that I do this with and can follow through with the things that really matter to me. I'm in the middle of writing a speech about suicide right now and I'm having a hard time staying focused... but I am determined!

I woke up this morning with a ver similar thought. I thought I might look at how to plan my days as though it was a schedule in high school, so I know where I'm going and what I need to prioritize. I am on vacation this week so am able to step back and observe a little more closely what is working for me and what isn't.. FInishing what I start is a wonderful addition to that kind of commitment.
