Time wise tip # 3 - Carpe diem

Seize the day

'Gather ye rosebuds while ye may'

by John William Waterhouse

The origin source for the Latin phrase is Horace - in Odes Book I:

Dum loquimur, fugerit invida

Aetas: carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero

which translates as:

While we're talking, envious time is fleeing: seize the day, put no trust in the future

This came in my email yesterday:

LORD, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered— how fleeting my life is.

Psalm 39:4, NLT
Life is short no matter how long we live. If there is something important we want to do, we must not put it off for a better day.

Time wise tip # 2

We've been away all week in the north of the state to visit my mum, who's sick at the moment, and I had planned to take some lovely photos at the beach and the Mersey river in Devonport, but after clearing the memory onto the computer, I forgot to put the memory card back in the camera!  So annoying!

So, in light of the fact that I have no nice scenic pics to share with you... I thought I would continue with the time wise tips, and here is no 2.

I particularly like this urgent/important matrix, and nothing explains it as well as a diaghram.

And I thought I'd lighten it up a little with a few questions and answers..... 

  

So, you need to Prioritise What you Do!

Got tons of stuff to do?

my answer: hello!?

Do not know where to start?

my answer: Nup, procrastination is my speciality.

Cannot choose one thing one over another?

my answer: How can I, when they are all screaming for my attention!  It's deafening!  Seriously, should I just flip a coin?

Juggling too many things at once?

my answer: Yep, like all womankind, I wear many hats, some don't even fit!

Another day’s gone and you look back scratching your head asking yourself “what have I accomplished today?”

my answer:  okay, you're not helping! 

So, all I need is Stephen Covey's Time Management Matrix in a Mindmap....!

You're going to need to click on this for a better view, it's worth it.
I think I need to print this out and stick it on my shiny white noticeboard, er I mean my fridge.
