YOUR TIME- Balancing Time and Life
 I believe that each of us must periodically review how we manage our time. As we near the end of this year I hope these tips below will help you better manage your time and life.
- Plan Ahead: Before you end your day think of all the items you will need to take with you the next day (client files, referrals for doctors, tickets to pick up cleaning).
- List Goals: Create a list of both professional and personal goals to help you focus your time and energy on things that matter the most to you.
- Use technology to manage your time: Utilize the benefits of a Smart Phone or PDA to help you manage your time by allowing you to have immediate access to your schedule which will prevent you from overbooking yourself.
- Review schedule regularly: To ensure that you are balancing your time and life review your schedule weekly to help you stay on track of your professional and personal goals.
- Plan time for fun: As you plan your week make sure to plan time for fun (movies, dinner with friends, roller skating) to live a balanced life.
