In the Cracks of Life

If you are like me, your "to-do" list is longer than your day. We hit the ground early in the morning, mulling over the demands ahead of us vying with our dreams  of getting past the routines to the real goals. How do you fit it all in?

I was asking myself this question this morning when I remembered that I had already written about it in 2008. It took me a minute and a half to locate all the advice I needed:

 

In the Cracks

 

When people ask me how I get certain things done, the response is often, "I work them into the cracks of my life between major commitments. Ironically, the things we do in those squeeze times are not always the least important, but sometimes the most.

Earthquake spasms create cracks in the surface of the earth and life spasms do the same in our schedules. That is why we can never be complacent and must always be aware of the landscape of our existence.

Because you have so much to accomplish and must make the best of every crack in your calendar 9as I am doing at this very minute), I am going to offer some suggestions in my next few posts. The first is about lists: ALWAYS HAVE AN UNFINISHED LIST!

If it gets finished without you adding to it, you are already behind and wasting time. Never let your list get empty. Always have something on it that you can be working on when an unexpected crack opens in your daily schedule. Categorize your list; let it flow into multi-layers; give it thought; give it prayer; keep it with you.

That's all for now because the crack is closing around me and I have an appointment across town.
