Procrastination Buster!

Procrastination Buster Mind Map by Jane Genovese Procrastination Buster
 
Ahhhhhh...better late than never! Right??? Wrong! I must work on treading my O-cean water better!
 168...did you know that is the number of hours available to each of us every week???
Let's walk it through for the majority of us. We might give 60 of those hours to sleeping and staying clean (grooming and bathroom ... 8.5 hours a day). Another 50 or so are invested in our work and commuting (average U.S. one-way commuting time according to USA Today is 25.5 minutes). That leaves us with 58 hours each week to apply wherever we'd like.

I find that pretty exciting...because that's FOUND time! (something that I always seem to be in need of...how about you??) If we are lucky enough the LOVE our work..love what we are doing with the kids each day...we can make it a paradise...well maybe the next best thing! When you can actually laugh each day with the people you are in the trenches with....that makes it a whole lot easier to get up on those days...that your hand and the "snooze" button seem to have a magnetic attraction.
Here's something to reflect on...as individuals, what are we doing consistently to better love what we do and the people you are around each and every day? As a leader (admin, leadership role, department head, etc)...what are we doing consistently to help our people better enjoy their work and the people around them? Are we doing anything to make it worse? Truly happy people tend to be more engaged and make better things happen ... better results, better relationships, more opportunities. And, that's more enjoyable for everyone.
Here is a video on procrastination and how to "eat that frog"...something that I ALWAYS need a reminder of! Hope it helps you too...if you struggle from the same "illness" every now and then! Have a terrific Tuesday...can't wait to show off all your "skills" to the other principals tomorrow! :)
