Have you ever taken the time to people watch and notice everyone is rushing from here to there, appearing to be as if they have no clue where they are going? Its common in major cities, and a common question from visitors is, ‘Why is everyone running?’ Instead of asking ‘Why is everyone in this hurry to get where they are going?’ Well it is all about time. They are late from lunch, or they may miss their bus, maybe even be late for dinner. It seems that no one realizes how much time and energy they are wasting worrying about time. How the realization of planning things has eluded us. So it’s time for us to start thinking about time management techniques so we can be more effective and get more positive results.
Planning
Every day or the night before, create a list of things that you need to get done, places you need to go, and appointments that need to be kept and so on.
Start at the top of the list
When making your list of things that need to be done, start with the important things first then second, third and so on until you have completed your list. Then work your way down the list, so you know you will get those things done if they are on the top of the list.

Mommyland’s Focus and Mommy’s Tid Bits
I wanted to share with you what the plans are for Mommyland. Every week posts on parenting will be on a certain topic as you may have noticed this week was about Cabin Fever. Then at the end of the week, things were wrapped up with a short 5 minute podcast with some other fun ideas on what you can do to either avoid cabin fever or activities to do in case it hits and your going stir crazy.
Need Scrapbooking Ideas
While surfing around I came across this great Talk Radio show. It is called Scrappers Talk Radio. Now Ill say this I am totally not a real good scrapper I try but usually lack of inspiration tends to make me loose interest real fast. I listened to a few of the shows that Vera has done and I got a ton of fun ideas and I am ready to give it a try again. There was some really neat birthday ideas that they did for their 2nd birthday show. And Vera has this fun Feature with Let’s Hear from You, you can record a comment about a show or a post with just a microphone. It was a fun way to leave a comment.
Cabin Fever and Teens
It is true that preteens and teens tend to get cabin fever and bored to. So I began to brainstorm with my sons some of the things that they like to do. This would also be a good idea to do with your teen to do get some other ideas. This is what we came up with, it?s a good idea to keep a list so when you do get I’m bored from them to pick up the paper and let them pick a something to do.
Remedy for Cabin Fever Get out of the house
Well, Yes it is cold outside but sometimes no matter what fun activities we have planned during our day cabin fever still hits in a big way. So I started brainstorming some fun ideas to get you and your children out of the house.
Hit the library, most libraries have a story time or a time for little ones to go and interact with others. These are good for both mom and child why the kids can play and have fun while you meet new moms in your area with children of a similar age.
