    I’ve stumbled upon this via Pinterest, and cannot thank you enough.

    I’m an illustrator, I’ve just moved to a new country, as well as looking for a new job and doing freelance work on the side.

    Things get so busy and I often find myself overwhelmed and not finding the time to do everything I want to.
    I read the post last night, and this morning gave it a go and I already feel more confident and can see the tip of the iceberg! Seeing all my work to do on paper, gives me a better picture of things I need to do and when to do them, so less stress and definitely much more productivity!

    Thanks ever so much! You’ve got a new follower!

    This is exactly what I try to do. I make a list of everything I need to get done that’s broken down into 3 sub lists. Then, I pick out the top two or three that have to get done each day. Love your worksheets. They really make it easy.

    Wow! Just what I needed! My husband and I both work from home with our 1 year old son. I don’t know how we get anything done!

    I can’t download the file. It says “I must be logged in to download this file.” Any idea why?
    Thanks!

    Wow! Thanks for this! I need to get settled into a schedule to finish my dissertation research. I know this will help get me started.

    This is so super helpful! As a student and a freelance designer, tasks can easily pile up and seem overwhelming. However, when you break them down into a few things every day it’s so much easier. Thanks for sharing!! 🙂

    Great post! What’s most important for me to look back on what I’ve accomplished. I beat myself up about what I have to do rather than what I’ve done.
