			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I found that it is quite phenomenal the amount of work they can get done if one puts their mind to it. By that I mean first of all, get organized and know exactly what you have to do. Next put your tasks in a certain order that is logical for the list. Perhaps if you had errands to run you might put them in order of stops. Or if you had deadlines that might be the order that you might use.</p>
<p>I have shown in my own life over and over that if I just spend a little time getting organized I will actually be far more productive in all the things that I do. And at the end of the day I feel better and so begins the momentum that continues into the next day or at least the evening and I&#8217;m able to accomplish even more during those periods of time.<span id="more-24"></span></p>
<p>For instance today I set out to accomplish a certain task and was interrupted early in the morning and felt frustrated while I was doing something else because my original task was being put to the side. But what I did at that point was decided that no matter what I would finish my original task. I put my mind to it and low and behold by the end of the day I had completed so much more than I ever thought possible. I accomplished the intended task along with all the distracting tasks.</p>
<p>This is not to say that every time you could be taken away from your intended task and still get it done but it just shows you the power of intention and the way that if you make up your mind you can actually get quite a lot done. I heard it said that if you want to get something done give it to a busy person and that adage I think holds a lot of truth for many people. We just need to get busy.</p>
<p>Someone said a long time ago that half the battle of getting anything done is just getting started and that may hold true in this case also just start. Once your started it is much easier to accomplish your goal. In fact it is impossible to accomplish your goal if you don&#8217;t get started. Now there&#8217;s a profound statement for you if I ever heard one.</p>
