Can you manage your workload with LOVE?

If you keep everything in one place you will not overlap appointments or miss them. One good tip never say yes to anything till you check your calendar. Values- many of us say we cherish our loved ones. We live and work because we want to provide them with the best in life, however our actions don’t always show the same story.

Are you positive do you think good thoughts about how great the day will be? Do you see success for the day? What is your outlook? So many times we subject our self to a negative out look and guess what it happens. Try waking up and telling your self it’s going to be a great day. That anything that goes wrong will get better and you will be okay. That is how you manage with LOVE Original article was in the Costco connection from Feb 2-11 author Gabriela Cora
