So last week we discussed Balance and that it doesn’t exist. This week we will discuss the second step which is to Manage Your Tasks.

I found that using the strategy below helps me to be more productive. Prioritize your priorities in 3 categories : 1. Must complete ASAP.

In the Bible there is great story about the Israelites and the promise that God gave them. A promise of prosperity in a land of milk and honey. This journey was supposed to take 40 days but instead it took 40 years. One important thing is that during the 40 years of wandering in the wilderness God still provided quail and manna.

I have allowed self-doubt to dominate and let negatives thought tell me ” You cant do it like them, or you have to do it like her”. I got so caught up with these thoughts that I became paralyzed. Not physically, but in my path to success. Have you ever felt stuck? Felt like you have no direction or clear set path? Felt like you need to make a move but you’re incapable? That was
