Personal organizational focus

It's Saturday Swarm Moms!!!

Yeah! for those who don't have to get up and go into work this can be a day of relaxation.  Some single moms are working today and some of those moms are going into work at a second job.  When a single mom has to take a second job, this puts even more strain on her quality of life.  The money must be important and necessary or else, she is detaching herself from her family.  In either case, this is not going to bode well for a happy future.  How does this play into the Organization mindset that we have been focusing on these last few weeks?

For starters every single mom needs to be organized.  In fact everyone who wants to attain success needs to be organized.  The mom who is working two jobs is working hard, but not working smart.  This mom must start to look up in her work environment and locate the higher paying jobs.  There is good reason to make more money and to move up in your career.  You may only have to work one job and you may end up with more time off.  Strange huh? the higher up you are in a corporation, the more days off you get.  The more money you make within an organization, the more leverage you have.  Is this true always? No, but it is true most often.  Recently, one of my bosses was overheard saying, ' It's crazy! the more money you make here, the less work you actually have to do'. Wow! Pretty honest and insightful!  But the reason to work hard (isn't that a given) and to look up to better positions is because we need to be in jobs that use our gifts and talents.  And one of the ways to uncover your gifts and talents is to get organized in the way you spend your time so that you can spend some time doing what interests you.  If your life is a mess and you spend much of it working, then you will not have the down time to evaluate your likes and dislikes.  The pure enjoyments of life will pass by unnoticed.  Soon, your children will be grown and on their own.  You can not waste any more time in a state of chaos.  This includes a chaotic living space, a chaotic career path and an unplanned future.

Take the time to evaluate your life and your likes.  Where do you feel most connected? What do you feel happiest doing?  Now examine your life and your goals and see if you are aligned.  If not, begin now to seek out better employment, more money, more time off...whatever it will take to open up time for yourself and your family.
