Mapping Out the Month Ahead

Posted by Jenn Greenleaf Apr 2, 2009

I know, I know – there are times in my life when I really need to let things go, and there are other times when it would behoove me not to do so. Finding the balance between what and what not is the challenge. However, when it comes to my career, I really do need that “obsessive compulsive” organization people have told me time and time again was the cause of my stress.

In reality: not being that organized has been to my detriment.

So, I’ll continue down the path of my list making and month mapping. I keep letting others who really don’t know how I work or what it takes for me to operate efficiently throughout the work day influence my decisions about such matters . . . I don’t know why I do that considering I know what works best for my career routine and what doesn’t.

I probably sound like a broken record when it comes to this stuff, but that’s also how I work. ::smiles:: Venting it all out in a blog or other public forum is a good way to keep me accountable for such decisions, as well as provide motivation for me to do more. I don’t mean more in terms of adding to my workload, but more in terms of enriching what I’m doing so it is the fulfilling experience the creative side of me craves.

Do you let others influence your career decisions to the point that is becomes a bit of a mess that needs to be straightened up later on?
