4 Tips to Make it Through the Week

Hmmm...feeling like this zebra and it's not over yet??
I have had weeks where everyday felt like it was "goundhog day".

It doesn't really matter what is causing the week to be an overload...or does it?
Tip 1
Take an inventory of how much crap you have on your plate
Tip 2
Decide who put it there, if it was your own choice, did it make sense to do it this week or could it have waited? Postponing things can actually give you more time to focus on it and give you better results.
Tip 3
Decide who put the other items on your plate (see, I can be proper) and do they have the right to do it. If they do (like it's your boss) is it going to make sense to do it this week or not? If you have a good relationship with your boss ( I don't think I ever did) then you will probably feel it's ok to discuss the deadline date of the project. However, if you don't feel your boss is approachable, you may want to watch how someone else ( the one with the brown nose) is doing it and learn it, do it and teach it! No joke. Even if at first it's out of character for you, eventually you can learn any skill. Learn this one. If they are chatty...be chatty. If they are always asking advice on personal matters...do it. If they are inviting them out for golf, a beer or dinner, get with their program because obviously it works. You need it to work too.
Now, if you don't have a boss or someone who can put things on your plate for you...shame on you. You are your worst nightmare. Quit it already! You work for yourself. You manage your home, run the carpool, have clients, meetings, appointments that you schedule for the most part. Be kind to yourself.
Tip 4
Lastly, Stop juggling. Juggling takes hours of practice and leaves little time for anything else. Life is too short. You are missing the intermission. You know that time you take a pee, get a drink, eat, exercise, have family time....yeah. Don't fill your schedule like there is no frickin tomorrow. Let me guess... that tomorrows schedule looks alot like todays. So schedule thoughtfully.  Deligate. Breathe, get your stripes back. See ya on the flip flop!
