Use Your CTRL Button!

My day never goes like I plan it. I hardly ever accomplish all the things I set out to do. Oh, its not that I don’t know what I’m doing! A typical day? No big deal. It’s just that my daughter needs a babysitter. My son forgot his child has a doctor’s appointment and he has to work. His wife is running behind and needs me to pick up something from the store on the way from the doctor’s office. My friend wants me to take her shopping. By the time I get done, I’m always too tired to think about what I wanted to do.

When I plan time with my friends or intend to do something else I enjoy, people are calling me on my cell phone, needing me to do this and that. I interrupt my day to help them out. Its not that I am reactionary, well, maybe a little but they need me. I keep asking them to be more respectful of my time but…anyway, it feels good to be needed.

Needed? Helping them out? Do not attempt to adjust your excuses. You have entered the Reactionary Zone and you are stuck. Come to the kitchen table to hear some talk about how to use your CTRL button to break free!
