A goal without a plan is just a wish.....

Misty morning in the Botanic Gardens
One thing I have found over the last few months, since I left the office job, is that once I sit in front of the computer in the morning the day just vanishes.....  Between checking emails, checking my etsy and zibbet shops, looking after the Bakers Dozen on ravelry, checking my ebay selling and buying items, and of course cheching out Twitter - which always leads to something else to look up and read I seem to run out of time for anything else.

Now that I have so much time I find that I dont have any time...... does that make sence?  The more time I find I have, the more things I want to put into it and then I get muddled and end up not doing half as much as I expected.....in other words "A goal without a plan is just a wish".

So how do I sort this out?  I have a huge wish list of things I would like to do. 
  • So, check out the diary on what is already booked in e.g. weekends away, courses, classes I am giving, markets, writing articles, knitting parties, etc..... 
  • Next do up a calendar for the remainder of the year. 
  • Fill in whats booked. 
  • Make to do list of things for each booking.
  • Slot in time for the preparations
  • Dont forget some down time/ me time and family time - put it in the calendar.
  • Put in some "create new items" time
  • Housework time
  • Relaxation time.
Will review and come back once I have the calendar done.
