Help ! Im all over the place

Hello everyone I need some help organizing my ambitions. I feel like I am all over the place and doing to much. We all know what that can lead to..burnout. I know what I want I see the vision, but I dont know how not to jump in head first. I have made contacts joined affiliate networks in order to eventually tie everything together but I feel like Im not making any progress.

Any insights would greatly be appriciated.

Thanks Ladies

Myrna, I feel your pain, LOL! I'm forever trying to do a million things at once and sometimes it kicks me in the butt! But when I do manage to get focused (smile), one of the ways is to keep good "to do" lists, I've found. Set aside specific days to do different batches of things; for example one area on MWF, the other on Tues & Thurs. Or, perhaps client/customer stuff on some days, and marketing stuff on the others. Hope that helps a little! ;)

It does help, everyday its getting easier.I see what Im accomplishing and what still needs to be done.It's putting a lot of things into perspective for me as well.Prioritize and Goal setting make alot of sense.

Thank you for your advice Vonetta :)

I just joined and I'm reading your post from last month and could not have written it better myself. I founded an educational nonprofit, and I teach there as well. I'm in seminary for Christian Counseling and I'm looking to connect the two in some type of business which I already have a name for. I am on several boards in my area, I'm involved in several schools, and none of it is fulfilling me. I'm having a really hard time not being "scatterbrained" for lack of a better term. I can't seem to focus to hatch this business plan and I'm getting frustrated. I want to continue to make my jewelry in my spare time and make that a business as well. My pastor says and I repeat, multiple streams of income. But I can't seem to prioritize! I think one of my reasons for joining was to begin to focus on the priorities and begin to move forward. Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone, in this feeling of being all over the place.

Have you made any progress since this posting?

Hi MJonica,

So sorry for the late response. Life has been hectic,lol But yes I have. Things seem to have almost balenced its self out. My true passions came to life and the things that are secondary stayed secondary. How are things with you ?
