This is Laura Welcome to the before breakfast podcast Today's tip is that when finishing a task or a project will involve some waiting time Start the wait as soon as possible That way projects won't run way longer than you think they should Sometimes before you can cross a task off your list Someone
else has to do their part while you wait for it This is common in work or volunteer projects that are like a relay race With each person doing their part and then passing it on to the next person even for independent projects if You need to get approval or feedback from a boss or colleague.
There's often waiting involved.
I Am also reminded all too frequently of the need to wait before I can make a quick meal if that quick meal Involves a preheated oven or a pot of boiling water It is also common to wait when you are a customer Like if you order an item and have to wait for it to be delivered Or if you call the cable
company or airline but have to wait on hold for a long time Before you can talk with a representative Life features a lot of waiting So when you know you will need to wait and especially if you don't know exactly how long you will need to wait It is wise to start the wait as soon as possible For most
things it is fine to be done earlier Will you be upset if your passport comes long before your international vacation?
No, you will not but will you be upset if you are waiting for it to come and You're getting closer and closer to your departure Yes.
Yes, you will So best to get that renewal going as soon as you know what trips on the horizon Likewise if you will be dealing with customer service Call the cable company before you start unloading the dishwasher and folding your laundry.
I Know I like to put those calls off But the good news is you can let the music be your soundtrack for your chores until you finally get through Then you won't have to let that wait cut into the time you hope to be doing other things if You know what you are getting people for Christmas then order those
gifts before Thanksgiving Movies and football games are fun as Neil Bikers your work as Santa's helper not so much At work you can save yourself a lot of stress by passing the baton to other people as soon as you can And when you know you're going to need their approval or feedback Just be sure you
communicate about when you need the work back to you So you can complete it before the deadline as for the boiling water and preheated oven you can start them as soon as you get home from work or as soon as you think about dinnertime if you work from home if You have a long commute and another person is home
before you Ask them to get things going So you can walk in the door and start cooking I Cannot explain why it takes so long to get pasta water boiling or an oven up to temperature when you are waiting for these Things to happen, but you know it does so start the wait Laundry tends to feel a little less
urgent than dinner prep, but start the wash as soon as you can too If you're spending a morning tidying or cleaning make putting clothes in your washer your first step so the washer and dryer can do their work while you are doing yours and The clothes will be ready for folding Whenever you are When
you start the wait early the ball will be back in your court sooner While you're waiting you can move on to other things Then when the wait is over you will have time to finish the project Without cutting into all the other things you would rather be doing In the meantime This is Laura Thanks for listening
