The juggling act
Hey guys, Fuzzy here again. Have loved reading all your responses and it's great to hear all your thoughts over the past few weeks.
Is it just me or does it seem the older we get the busier we are? There seems to be a lot more responsibility each year that ticks over. I know that PDAs and Blackberries have been all the rage but there's one thing I can never ever give to technology, and that's my diary.
I'm a filofax gal all the way. I kind of use my diary how you'd use iCal on a Mac. I colour code things in my diary according to what category it comes under with a highlighter. If it's a shoot day its yellow, a meeting is orange, travel is green, and pink is an event/birthday. Kind of control freakish yes, but it's the ONLY way I can look at what needs to get done each day.
I'm also big on job lists and prioritising, there's nothing better than crossing something off the list once it's done! Ei!
One thing is key though I always make time to chill out, even if it's just for an hour I'll hit the gym for a pilates session, or go out for a quite meal with my boyfriend or knock off a few chapters of a good book.
It doesn't necessarily need to be written down but when things turn to madness it helps so much to get away from the thick of things. There is more to life than deadlines and meetings!
