If you're like me, there never seems enough time in the day for all the things you want to do, I post this to remind myself, and hopefully help others. Time management is an issue for me but these help.
Quick tip: If you have anxiety or are stressed out with all the tasks you need to complete try this:
1. Write down the things in your head you know you need to do, either on paper or on the computer. This will unload your mind from all the items you have been thinking about and it will give you a great idea of what you are dealing with.
2. Start with the first task and make sure you cross off each item as you complete it. This will relieve your mind of many stresses of our daily life and give you a sense of accomplishment as you see progress with your to do list.
3. Take action even as you add to the list and don't let it daunt you. Take things one step at a time.
Organizing your thoughts and making them real on paper give you the ability to assess the situation and take proper action to execute and to make progress in your daily tasks or in your professional life.
Let me know if there is anything else that has worked for you.

In the Sand
We often don’t really live our lives. We think about the past, or project ourselves into the future, and forget all about the present.
The present moment is the only thing that matters. The past is over, and the future hasn’t happened yet. You should perform each gesture in full awareness of that, at every moment.
The present moment is the only thing that matters. The past is over, and the future hasn’t happened yet. You should perform each gesture in full awareness of that, at every moment.
That’s the way to calm the wandering of your mind and keep you anchored in the present moment.
When you walk, be aware you’re walking. Don’t think about anything else.
Be conscious of your breathing, and don’t think about anything else.
When you eat, be conscious that you’re eating. Don’t think about anything else.
When you’re out in Nature, take pleasure being in its presence. Don’t think about anything else.
And so on…
Slow down, walk more slowly, eat more slowly, breathe more slowly. Be as fully conscious as you can, in everything you do.
When you walk, be aware of each step.
When you breathe, be aware of each breath.
When you eat, be aware of each mouthful.
When you’re in Nature, become one with it.
If you’re fully conscious, your existence will become a chain of constructive thoughts, words and deeds that will lift you higher.
You’ll be able to stop asking yourself questions about the past and the future, and feel happy in your awareness, as you finally start living in the here-and-now.
