Be a fire preventer, not a firefighter


It's "Tammy's Tiny Tip Tuesday" where I share bite-sized nuggets of information regarding time management, that are easy to digest. We will build on these small habits weekly. #tinytiptuesday for my favorite planner go here: https://bit.ly/3G3YR4I


One of the greatest gifts from getting more organized is the ability to see potential fires in advance.


Sure, there will always be those that sneak in, but we will be able to put those out much faster than before because we can focus on that one fire, not 5.


I have turned it into a bit of a game, trying to predict what fires may creep up in my day and week and what actions can I take to prevent them.


This has been instrumental in helping me manage my stress and it allows me to get a lot more done in a more timely manner because I am not putting off tasks to fight the fires.


Look ahead at your tasks and see if you can predict any fires, then come up with an action to prevent them. Note how your week went compared to previous weeks.
