Organization - Orange County Photographer - on Business
Organization is key. I have learned the importance of a well organized life, business, office, daily to-do list and everything between...the hard way. Trial and error. Unfortunately, but fortunately too.
And even more fortunate(ly), I have recently come into contact with a wonderful woman who can help us start from the bottom up to better organize our business life. She said this:
HAVE YOU EVER EATEN AN ELEPHANT? Weird question, but it will help you to organize the big projects you have to deal with. Any time you say: 'I don't have time to do this,' think of eating an elephant. It's a VERY BIG job, but you can accomplish it if you just take one bite at a time. When we look at the job as a whole, we get overwhelmed. But taking it just a bite at a time makes it much easier and, maybe, even more enjoyable. Do little bits of the project every day. Only 10-15 minutes a day amounts to over an hour a week. The time adds up quickly. So, the next time you think you don't have the time, think about eating an elephant.

but really...why would you want to eat an elephant when you could ride one along the jungle cliffs overlooking the sea in Thailand!? (with a monkey on your lap) ???

Looks like Thailand to me there! Love the article. Very catchy opening!
ReplyDeleteUm yes - what I got from this post is - WHEN are we traveling together again?? I have yet to ride an elephant. I bet you've never been to the ice hotel they make every year in Sweden... and I bet it would make for some amazing photography. Want to go on a trip? :)
