Home Sweet Home Office

I am amazed at how easy it is to loose several hours during an afternoon trying to navigate through Microsoft Vista. Since I am still an XP girl I was totally lost when trying to install a POS (point of sale) program onto a Vista machine.

As long as I did not need to find the “Add and Remove” program or until I needed to see a “System” file I did quite well. Until I deleted the Google Tool Bar searching for a file was a major effort. Whose idea was this anyway?

This is an example of why things do not get done on time. We find ourselves involved in tasks that should just a half hour but end up taking three or four times that long. I suspected that I would run into some type of trouble so I waited until I had free time to get started. I have made no promises for a deadline. I am working in a space that has no other purpose at the moment. In other words, I can walk away from the project whenever I want to.

Try not to put projects off until the last minute and you will not be as stressed. Set up equipment or tools in an area that does not require clean-up before you are finished. This type of control is not always possible but it is best to strive for something close to it.
