You're the one who taught me the joys of the color coordinated calendar. I just keep mine online. :)Liz Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08070438942917046385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388011374794192178.post-37230973358234381802012-02-27T16:37:20.170-05:002012-02-27T16:37:20.170-05:00I need to have a deadline for everything, otherwis...I need to have a deadline for everything, otherwise NOTHING gets done! I usually make a "to do" list each morning, with the most urgent things on top. Eventually, most of the things that need to get done make it to the top of the list. Nice post, Diane. Have a great time on your trip!Patricia Kiyonohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14763838993363110626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388011374794192178.post-61611615626755576782012-02-27T13:18:09.637-05:002012-02-27T13:18:09.637-05:00Oh I wish I could be organized and I chuckle at yo...Oh I wish I could be organized and I chuckle at your comment wondering where you lay the card...I do the same thing. Always wait until the last minute. If there is a mistake or something I'm usually up the creek because I've wasted valuable time by not opening the letter. A long time ago I was more together. But after the family got rolling, the speed of life picked up.teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02876818310240268980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388011374794192178.post-63828054609013617032012-02-27T12:29:59.185-05:002012-02-27T12:29:59.185-05:00I definitely work best under deadlines, either rea...I definitely work best under deadlines, either real or self-imposed. Unlike you, that was also true at work, but there it seemed we always had a deadline looming. Today I only have two more days to finish a read-through on my latest wip in process, so I guess I'd better get to it if I'm going to meet that deadline.Marishttp://marissoule.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388011374794192178.post-9197715161866017202012-02-27T09:44:30.275-05:002012-02-27T09:44:30.275-05:00Hi Diane.

How I get it done--like Mid-Michigan Mirror in the long ago--is my little secret. <br /><br />Hope you all and I never run out of deadlines. All the best, AnnetteAnnettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649704858681168674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388011374794192178.post-33474704254901784402012-02-27T09:06:59.182-05:002012-02-27T09:06:59.182-05:00I'm organized in everything except my writing,...I'm organized in everything except my writing, lol! I am a little OCD about most things, but when it comes to writing I'm a total pantser and it drives the OCD side of me crazy! I've learned to compromise by writing a few chaps then go back and take notes so it feels organized, lol. <br />Great post, Diane!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
