A few days ago I was walking down the street the sun was out and scorching hot. I couldn’t handle the heat any longer as I felt like I was melting. The thought came to my mind that …I wished I was water skiing. I set a goal to get a couple articles written for the Chi Connection, and make contact with some of the local schools in my area that have potential to be really strong Delta Epsilon Chi chapters. I also wanted to write a list of 5 of my friends that I am going to invite to join my local Weber State chapter, and what steps I would take to make that happen. I wrote out my goals, executed, and was able to find a lot of really great leads to work with. It was a very effective week, and now I am water skiing and having a great time. Remember you can never create more time…but you make the most of the time you have. Posted By: Steve Hanson

I like your message but it seems to lack something special. Do you have any tips for making the most of your day? Your blog just sounds like you put this together in a matter of minutes compared to your fellow bloggers. I know that leading up to ICDC that I began making a schedule for myself and kept to you like there was no tomorrow. Any way I look forward to this year as a DEX member at the University of Washington.

Susan,
Thank you for taking the time to read the blogs and for the constructive criticism. I wanted to write a block that captured the fun of summer and the work of Delta Epsilon Chi and twist it all together. This article was a fun one to write and one that I enjoyed. I hope that you and others reading this article will capture the understanding that time is important and there is only so much of it. If a person plans according they can accomplish all that they want to and more.
Also to answer your question in regards for tips on getting things done, I would say there are many people and they all have different ways of planning and managing time. As for my personal situation I have a very full plate of things that I have to do, so I write down a list of things that need to be done throughout the week, and what day I need to have then completed by. Then when I have down time I pull out my list and work the items that need to be done first, then I work the second items, then the third and so on and so forth. I also find that multi tasking is a wonderful tool that some people have not harnessed. I place quote on mirrors and have others ready at red lights. If I am not driving I read and or make phone calls.
Thanks again Susan for posting a comment.
