But lately, I\u2019ve sorta dropped the scepter. I blame the problem on this summer\u2019s series of tight book deadlines, speaking engagements, and family life changes.<\/p>\n<p>After all, a planner isn\u2019t all that necessary when the week\u2019s task is COMPLETE THE FIRST PROOFS BY FRIDAY or PREPARE TO SPEAK AND SCHMOOZ IN KENTUCKY or HELP YOUR DAUGHTER AND SON-IN-LAW MOVE TO OHIO or WRITE AN INDEX BY AUGUST 17 or ACTIVATE MOM\u2019S IN-HOME HEALTH CARE POLICY. With things like that on the top of the to do list this summer, all I had to do was start running with them every Monday and hope to to reach the finish line by Friday.<\/p>\n<p>But now the deadlines are met, the daughter and son-in-law are moved, and Mom\u2019s in-home health care should activate soon. Which means life includes some breathing room, at least for a few weeks. Which means all I want to do is sit on the couch and breathe while watching DVDs of all the family unfriendly TV series we couldn\u2019t watch with kids in the house. Which means I need to start making to do lists again, or I will get absolutely nothing done until there\u2019s another deadline breathing down my neck. But there will never be another deadline breathing down my neck because I\u2019ve done absolutely nothing to create one.<\/p>\n<p>So it\u2019s time to polish up my queen-of-the-planner tiara and start sparkling again. Except that I\u2019m way out of practice when it comes to picking and choosing a few items from the long list of what needs to get done this week and transferring them a daily to do list. Tell me, which ones would you choose from this list for your Monday morning?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Update blogs<\/li>\n<li>PTSD research for book proposal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Get started on items in book marketing folder<\/li>\n<li>Get ready for company on Labor Day weekend<\/li>\n<li>Send stuff to Wanda for new ones sheet<\/li>\n<li>Send updated bio and interview questions to publicist at Discovery House<\/li>\n<li>Contact university and community college about available interns for tech projects<\/li>\n<li>Update speaking topics on website<\/li>\n<li>Grocery shop<\/li>\n<li>Finish influencer list for publicist at Discovery House<\/li>\n<li>Email people about participating in the blog tour for my new book<\/li>\n<li>Call people about being part of the special needs ministry planning team at church<\/li>\n<li>Call Steve<\/li>\n<li>Transfer Mom\u2019s car title<\/li>\n<li>Write two Sunday school skits<\/li>\n<li>Run stuff for Monday evening board meeting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sure, the last item on the list is a given since Monday evening is almost here. But other than that, where would you start? Seriously, could you add \u201cmake a comment on Jolene\u2019s blog\u201d to your to do list and then send some advice really soon. Because until somebody provides some direction, this former queen of the planner will be sitting on the sofa watching DVDs while polishing her tiara or looking under the sofa for the scepter she dropped back in June.<\/p>\n<p>So sad, don\u2019t you think?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For years and years, I have been queen of the planner.
