“I just feel like I am a little overwhelmed,” Sam explained.

“Your manager says it’s more than a little,” I replied.

“Yes, some days it borders on out of control.”

“Would you agree, that if you worked 16 hours a day, every day, seven days a week, you would still not get everything done?”

“That’s the way it feels, sometimes.”

“How can I help you get more organized?” I asked.

“You’re the expert, I thought you were going to tell me what to do?” Sam insisted.

“I can tell you what to do, but I will guarantee that you won’t do it.” I laughed.

“What do you mean?”

“The way I organize time may not work for you. You have to figure out your best way. There are a dozen things you could do, but you won’t do nine of them. You have to figure out the two or three that work for you.”
