Do you feel like you are going nowhere, although you are permanently busy with something? Indicators of when you need to change your time management are plenty. You can probably already guess where you are at, but here are some signs for you to be sure.
Do you feel like you are moving in slow motion? You want to get everything done and give your very best but still you seem to have lost the game from the very start. All the challenges apparently get a head-start every day and you are only left behind.
You find yourself promising everyone to get done with your tasks very soon when you already know you will not make it. The problem is that you are hoping for wonders which will never come
The weeks run by faster than you can look. You know you had marked it in your calendar but somehow your Mom's birthday had passed below your radar. Why does this not happen to everyone else?
A single unexpected event robs you of all your motivation. This may just be an unexpected damage to your car, a leaking faucet, an unexpected visit, a long forgotten bill, etc. Generally you are motivated but single events throw you off balance, divert your focus and energy.
You get to work and spend too much time aimlessly searching through your desk to find a task to start with. There is just too much to do and you cannot decide where to start. As soon something new comes up your priorities shift again.
You would like to avoid everything that may remind you about all the tasks that need to get done. Whenever the phone rings you imagine yourself running out of the office. After all you also don't want to get new assignments.
