It's difficult to manage or anticipate your workload because the often last-minute needs of your patrons take priority over whatever else you were hoping to get done.

On Friday afternoons, I'll write out a to-do list for the next week, then each morning I'll decide on the three things I need to get done that day in order to go home feeling productive. Then five lit search requests come in and all of that goes out the window, but I'm putting my community first, so it's all good :) Hope you are feeling better soon.Alison Aldrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03883637762449201255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4061870849031468581.post-85702848470756939482012-09-11T13:20:13.185-04:002012-09-11T13:20:13.185-04:00I wish I were as organized as you.

My process is more "pay attention to what's in front of me and try to set myself reminders for stuff that's due in the future so I don't forget them completely." I envy your clear-eyed assessment.Anna Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06542744978194806986noreply@blogger.com
