Plan your week.

Weekly organizing gives you the freedom and the flexibility to handle unanticipated events, to shift appointments if you need to, to savor relationships and interactions with others, and to deeply enjoy spontaneous experiences.  Steven R Covey

How do you set up your day or week?  Have you ever put off entering your contacts from the last couple networking events you attended?  You may have even talked with a few key alliances and the procrastination has aided in your memory loss of the conversation.  This is one of the aspects I would like to get better at and set up appointments that I need to with my computer, but sometimes my computer doesn't agree and has a different agenda for the day. 

We all plan to do the office work or plan our vacations and even plan our weekends.  Think how much easier our day would go if we planned out our week. If appointments have to be rescheduled or cancelled and we already have our main duties planned out, we may even find we can take that now empty time slot to do something fun.

I love to be spontaneous and of course my career of choice allows that flexibility and it actually comes in handy when a client has to change their appointment.  Give it try.
