Finding Time with Seasonal Templates

Posted on September 30, 2008, under Time Management Skills.

It’s September 30th - I can’t believe that another month has gone by! As we move deeper into autumn and the leaves color and crisp, there’s no denying that winter is on its way!

Yesterday we were talking about templates and how they can help with some of the routine tasks that you frequently perform.

Seasonal chores, like yard work and spring-cleaning also go much more smoothly when you prepare ahead of time.

Try creating a template that walks you through each step of one or two of your major seasonal projects. Start from assembling the necessary supplies and carry yourself straight through to the final wrap-up!

I strongly suggest that you keep your template on your computer and update it right after you have finished your task. That way what you learn from experience is immediately incorporated and ready for you to benefit from, when it’s next time to use your template!

Seasonal templates heighten your efficiency. If you’re like me, you may not remember from year-to-year what worked well for a particular project … and what did not. Seasonal templates save you from repeating mistakes, as well as helping you remember, in May, the great shortcut that you discovered in September!
