I woke up thinking about all I need to do today and started feeling overwhelmed. I remember a former boss of mine telling me take the big picture and break it down in small pieces. Small pieces do make up the big picture of different situations. To work on one small piece at a time, still I got that accomplished, then go to the next piece. Figuring out how I was going to accomplish this, I was going to need help. Which piece to start on.

For the past two weeks, I admit I have been feeling overwhelmed and like in a whirlwind. This in turn causes anxiety. Anxiety causes stress which in turns to panic attacks and depression. My body does not respond to lots of stress well. I start feeling sick again. My blood sugar yo -yoing. I have been fighting depression due to getting behind on so many things I need to do.

So I decided to start doing a Time Management. Working to balance time for my family, businesses, blogging, church, activities and myself. I am having to assess myself in what am I wasting time on that is not making my time more efficient. It is a difficult task making yourself admit you are not perfect and make mistakes and to forgive yourself.

So I am putting my foot forward to working on accomplishing this task and keep moving forward. That will be a long hurdle. I am willing to get started.

Three of the biggest time wasters I found I have are interruptions, hopelessness and poor delegation skills. These time wasters were causing me to feel tired, irritable, loss of sleep, feeling sick or down, and difficulty concentrating and out of control.

One of the benefits of doing time management is, YOU are in control. Learning to say no is hard to do when called asked to help with another activity when you haven’t finished the other ten on your list. Taking charge of your lifestyle will help keep you in a routine to help manage your blood sugar too. We all have to make choices everyday. Mine is definitely going through new and good changes with a more positive attitude.
