Happy Wonderful Wednesday Everyone!
If all goes well, I am sending this posting out one day early; because I have a 12-hour day tomorrow and will be home too late to make sure I post in a timely manner. You may not know, but I am a registered nurse and work for a Blue Cross Blue Shield Plan. My job is a technical medical policy writer. Just what does that mean? I research scientific literature and clinical trials, present to our plans Medical Directors, and determine the coverage position we will have. It is a very different kind of medical professional job. When I did work in the hospital, it was in obstetrics – labor, delivery, post-partum, and newborn nursery. I talked childbirth education for nearly 14 years and worked with pregnant teens.
Time management is an important attribute as a leader. One has to think and plan ahead, think through time constraints, and prepare for contingencies. Without time management, goals may become unreachable. How we use our 24 hours, 1, 400 minutes, and unbelievable 86,400 seconds is critical for achievement. If you want to achieve more, serve more, influence more, or change the impact of what you have to offer others, you need to utilize the time you have in those 86,400 seconds. How we manage our time becomes something we do all the time… As I mentioned last week, it is a habit. Now, there are times I run right up against a deadline, but most times this is because I did not really start far enough out prior to the deadline. However, I still move ahead one moment at a time, one task at a time, and one event at a time. In addition, yes, I tend to arrive early… a time thing! I also start Christmas shopping on December 26th. Maybe I carry this time management to an excess!
IAWL Trivia Question for this week… There is a relationship between “It’s A Wonderful Life” and “ET The Extra-Terrestrial”. What is it?
Reminders from earlier posts:
So far, I only have two sisters signed up to participate in the Holiday Sweater Contest. I know many of you have festive sweaters in your closets. I also know you have creative minds to come up with original holiday sweaters. Let me know if you are planning to participate. I am working on the judging and prizes!
Barbara Perales, Association of the Arts Chairman, announced at the August Board Meeting the Craft Faire to happen at the November State Board Meeting in Bedford. She will be posting the table reservation form via The TESAN in the next couple of months. Therefore, it is time to start working on making those crafted items you will be selling in November and get your table reservation to Barbara! The Crafts Faire is always fun and fruitful!
Additionally, if you have not sent in your registration for the November State Board Meeting to District VI, please do so as soon as possible. District VI has arranged for a lunch on Saturday for an additional $12.00. I am looking forward to seeing you there for the Craft Faire, the Holiday Sweater Contest, donating to the troops as part of Hope for Heroes, and Sunday's Board Meeting. District VI is waiting to hear from you! Register now!!! I will attach the registration form.
Our Second Vice President, Debbi Morris, has asked for the following to be included in my weekly Blog/E-mail posting. So here you go…
“Convention Charm Contest! During the Association of the Arts Craft Faire on Saturday of the November State Board Meeting, we will have a Charm Contest! Send 2nd VP Debbi Morris a picture of your charms and the way you wear them or show them off. Photos of entries will be displayed during the Craft Faire for voting by ballot, and prizes will be awarded to the winners on Sunday morning. Old Convention Charms will be sold: $5 for 2013 charms, $2 for 2008-2012, and $1 (6 for $5) for 2007 and earlier years. Be sure to check your collection to see what you are missing – or just buy some to make an affordable Christmas gift for a young lady in your family. Debbi’s email is debbimor@swbell.net, and her home address is 607 S New Hope Rd, Kennedale, TX 76060. Photos need to be received by October 31.”
