Do you ever ____ to shout ‘Stop!’ and ____ charge of the way you manage each day, week, month or even year? If the ____ is yes, then we ____ something in common. I often get the impression that I live according to other people’s agendas; family, friends, work colleagues and even strangers. I’ve ____ a wide range of different organizational tools, but nothing seems to ____ the situation. I ____ a paper diary for day-to-day appointments and a weekly /monthly planner to set my short-term goals. I use online software to ____ track of the hours I work on certain projects and ____ project files and ‘to do’ lists, but I constantly fail to ____ my expectations and personal deadlines. Life ____ a habit of getting in the way. It could be a favour a friend ____ of me (who can refuse a friend in need, right?) or a family member has an ‘urgent’ problem. Social events appear out of nowhere and new work tasks ____ up that need to be dealt with. It ____ that other people’s priorities also have to be mine and saying ‘no’ without offending is a skill I haven’t yet mastered.
