My new management job is pushing me to the limits. I love the work and I believe in the importance of the mission. This is a one year position so I keep telling myself "You can do anything for only one year."
I am using every project management gem of wisdom I have ever learned.
Since I have little time to do anything but work I am calling on bloggers.
You are the smartest folks I know!!!
So what works for you when deadlines are overlapping and a staff looks up and asks "What's next?"
I'm all into Gantt charts, post it notes, datebooks, Outlook and anything I can work on in Excel and Access.
Champs....I can't wait.

The only thing I could tell you to do is pray to God about it.I know that you love your job,I hate mine.I think that the pay is terrible.I believe that God is the answer.He has a plan and a purpose for all our lives.
I have supervised as many as 120 people at once and had tons of headaches. The kind of leadership you are seeking is so needed, but so rare in today's culture.
Most of all, they want to know you are in charge. "Don't just stand there, make a decision." they are almost begging for someone to step.
With your wisdom and demeanor, just start whittling away, one at a time.
Thats a big difference between men and women. Men are much better at "compartmentizling" and women "it's all part of the soup," so to speak.
Sometimes that bleeds over into the workplace.
Kay...just one thing at a time.
Praying for you. Miss you! - david
Hi Kay,
It was good to see you visited the other day. I know you are busy.
One thing that helps me is to create a four catergory system.
I put everything I need to do in these four categories:
The urgent and important
The Not urgent but important
The not important but urgent
and
The niether urgent nor important.
This systtem helps me to see what has to be done first. Also if I can work a little on the stuff in any of the categories beside urgent and important then I can get a little ahead of the game so that those things never become urgent.
By the way,
I am running a visual mystery contest over at my blog this week. If you get a minute come and see.
love you
