The wedding ended and the honey moon came and gone.
The next week, I was summoned for jury duty and then I
caught a viral infection from my Mushy.
Quickly after that, my aunt passed away so we traveled
upstate, NY for the services.
If these things didn’t
happen all at once, life would be boring.
Right?!
Needless to say, after a month of not being able to live a
normal life, I’m all out of whack.
I’m so far behind in life that I’m not sure how to catch up
and get back on schedule.
My bills aren’t meticulously budgeted and my chores are a
month behind.
My cubicle at work has stacks and piles of time sensitive
tasks left undone.
My blog’s log of posts is empty and my class for school is
literally right around the corner.
I’m not even going to
mention myself. I need an emergency hair
cut and mani-pedi NOW!
Ten ways to get
your life back on track.
1. Take a deep breath and calm down.
It’s easy to panic when you see mountains of unfinished work
and chores laying around.
If you go into panic mode, you’ll make mistakes and take
longer to finish.
Meditate for a minute
or stop and get a glass of cold water.
Once you’re calm, do step #2.
2. Evaluate the complete situation.
Before you can begin getting back on track, you need to
determine where you’re at.
Brainstorm and make a list of everything that needs to get
done in all aspects of your life.
This can be
overwhelming. Stop and calm down again
if you need to. I have anxiety so I get
it!
3. Prioritize the tasks on hand.
The floors may need a good scrubbing, but it’s high priority
to deposit your check and pay bills.
Rewrite your list and put the tasks in priority order. This is especially an important step at work!
This may feel like you’re
wasting time, but trust me when I say being organized really helps.
4. Take lots and lots of breaks.
Playing catch up can be very overwhelming. Remember it took a month to build that pile
of work.
You need to eat, sleep, and take mental breaks. It’s impossible to do everything in a day, so
don’t try.
This is where I always
fail, especially at work. I may have unanswered
e-mails, but I still have to pee!
5. Communicate with the people relying on you.
Maybe you need to cancel a beach day with the girls or
reschedule a meeting with your boss.
As long as you communicate and explain the situation, people
aren’t going to feel let down.
Remember that everyone
had to play catch up at some point in their life. They’ll totally understand!
6. Don’t forget about the new tasks coming in.
Getting your life back on track isn’t an excuse to ignore
the new tasks coming in.
If you do this, you’ll be right back at step one. Try and balance your time between new and old
tasks.
I have unapplied
checks sitting here from a month ago, but I’m still submitting the new ones
coming in.
7. Ask for help and delegate what you can.
This doesn’t mean it’s ok to dump everything on someone
else. But, it is ok to ask for help.
Maybe your spouse can do some extra chores or a friend can
entertain your baby for a few hours.
These little shouts
for help will really make all the difference in how long this takes you!
8. Eliminate unnecessary distractions.
Things like your cell phone or your TV set to BRAVO can
prove to be an unnecessary distraction.
If you are too busy chatting on the phone or watching TV,
you’re not being productive.
My husband hates when my
brain gets distracted because it happens often.
Woops!
9. Set a reasonable date as a target goal.
If I allow myself to think that I have an indefinite amount
of time to do something, it doesn’t get done.
On the other hand, if I rush to get stuff done too quick
then things aren’t done correctly or completely.
A goal is always a
great thing to have for mental reasons.
It helps put everything in perspective!
10. Live your life following your normal
routine.
It’s important to get back into your normal routine as
quickly as possible.
This will help you feel normal. It also will help get things done because your
routine probably worked.
It always feels great
to settle back into your regular schedule after a long vacation.
How do you get back
into your daily routine after a long vacation?
Cool list!

Vampires is not at all like in the movies or books. Sure, I understand. You are young you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a Vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, But how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity, I can help you solve any problem you are having
