One Thing -- Then Another

My "to-do" board has many half checks. What I mean by this is that I have started many projects but cannot seems to finish them. I have been thinking about this a lot lately. Why is it so hard to get anything done? Where has all of my time gone? I try to sit down and do one thing at a time but I always seem to lose focus. I received an email from a business group a few days ago that sums up my problem. Here is a portion of it.. One morning, Farmer Jones told his wife he was going out immediately after breakfast to plow the back pasture. But the tractor needed oil, so he went to the shop to get some. On the way he noticed the pigs weren't fed – so he proceeded to the corn crib. The feed sacks in the corn crib reminded him that his potatoes were sprouting. On the way to the potato shed, he passed the wood pile and remembered his wife wanted firewood for the kitchen stove. By the time he had picked up a few sticks, an ailing chicken passed by. He dropped the wood and reached to help the mother hen. When lunchtime arrived, the frustrated farmer was asked by Mrs. Jones: "Did you get the south pasture plowed?" "Nope," was his reply, "I didn't even get the John Deere oiled. I intended to, but… That is my life. I have the information packets started, I have marketing campaigns started, I have emails that are waiting to be sent, I have blog posts that are only saved as drafts, I have phone calls to make, the garage is only half way organized with catering stuff, and there is even more that I do not mention here. It seems that what I need to do is make a list of the things that need to be done and put them in order of iimportance. Then, work on one until it is done and mark it off so that I can start on the next one. That is my goal for this coming week. I will keep you updated on how that goes. ..be bold Tagged: cafe evoke, coffee catering, coffee, espresso, tea, bozeman, montana
