EXERCISE: Keeping On Track
original posting: Wed, 28 Aug 2002 22:13:07 -0400
One of the problems I hav (whoops, who's that on the phone? Okay, back to . . . what was I doing?)
One of the problems I have is a steady stream of (knocking at the door. One more crisis?)
INTERRUPTIONS!
and then there is the ever-growing stock of issues, problems, thoughts, etc. that I've put aside to deal with when there's a pause in the flood...
Along with that goes all the inadvertent elbows, heels, and other digs that happen as we all bumble along in our best ways.
So, I tend to keep a list. What's on tap? So I can quickly turn to it, pick up one of the top items, and stay focused.
Admittedly, I probably miss some things. But I get a lot done.
How do you stay on track?
