You and I probably try to do alot of things – maybe too many on any given day.  But regardless of whatever day it is, we all have things to accomplish and checklists to plow through.  Here are a few pointers that have helped me to be productive & I still need to learn LOTS more:

• stay focused – being distracted is the enemy of getting the important things done
• make a daily list of no more than 5 things to attempt with your highest priorities at the top of the list
• be efficient with your time – make errands based on geographical proximities rather than by topics (put things that are close together on the same errand)
• maximize the small pockets of time (waiting in the carpool line, an dr’s appointment that goes late)
• delegate – getting your kids to help can be super helpful
• ask God to help you to be efficient and productive
• send random and kind text messages – it’s good for everyone including you 🙂

What else have you found helpful in being productive?  Please share your wisdom, insights & help!
