Planning the day ahead

A long time ago, on my very first interview at a very upscale hotel in Makati the HR Manager asked me "So how do you plan your day?"

Finding the question easy and eager to impress, I answered "I write it first on my journal".

The HR Manager said "Uh-kay, but how do you know which one should be done first? Do you finish the important task first or the urgent one?"

My smile froze as it dawned on me, I answered his question wrong! Ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod....

That was a decade ago. But if you ask me now how do I plan my day? I'd answer the same thing. I write it first in my journal. Hahaha!

So here's the plan/list I did yesterday to be accomplished today:

1) Check places to visit in Bangkok.
2) Write about bathroom faucets.
3) Check Malaysia Airlines airfare for February 2009 trip.
4) Buy gift for EJ's friend who's celebrating birthday on Saturday.
5) Pick up laundry.
6) Change bedsheets.
7) Follow up Buena Homes regarding title transfer of condo.
8) Make plans for New Year.

i'm list stuff too. sometimes, i list them for the job of crossing them out. grin.

places to check out in bkk? some recos: chatuchak weekend market! midnight massages. if it's your first time, the grand palace and floating market are the usual digs. travel around using the chaophraya river boats.

With the Boss, I always ask: is it urgent? i do it, now.
Then i do the usual routine.

I do lists also at home.One each to marghie-ironing, anjo, vaccum clean the house- michel, grocery and clean the car.
