OK, so you’re wondering exactly how time management could be sexy. Frankly, I don’t blame you. Time management can tend to be littered with unsexy words like “priorities” and “schedules” and “task lists.” So let’s begin with a simple question: when was the last time you felt sexy when you were stressed out? Yeah, exactly. And this isn’t about those quadrants or charts that your boss uses, either. Time management can be a turn on! Yup! Read on, my friend.

So the biggest cause of stress: the feeling of NOT GETTING ANYWHERE. Work, work, work, sad results. Just a piddly pittance paycheck and no time left over. Sound familiar? Say no more, say no more. Adopt a bit of sexy time management, you will actually feel good about your life. Guaranteed. Do I look like I’m selling used cars?

Let’s start with a fundamental. This is the rocket science portion of this article. How are you going to feel like you’ve accomplished something? Simply by recognizing what you’ve already done. Phew, I know, going too fast for ya, I know.

So try it on for size. Write down 10 things that happened yesterday that you feel good about. And no cheating – you have to come up with 10 things. Go ahead, I’ll wait. These are yours and yours alone. No one else has to see these, so write whatever you want.

Examples:

I heard from my friend Michael today and it was good to hear from him

I got a paycheck yesterday and it felt good to deposit it in the bank

My house is in a nice neighborhood Got it? You have to mean them, by the way. OK, all yours.

Sexy Time Management Tool 1: The Day Plan Now to get more official. You’re wondering, “That’s great, Christina, but how does this help me be sexier?” Boy, aren’t we a little impatient? Bear with me, friend. Sexiness is coming soon. OK, here is tool 1 (roll up your sleeves – but maybe don’t show too much arm).

Get a writing utensil and a sheet of paper. You’re doing great (and you look good too). Now fold the paper in half the long way, so you have two lovely columns. Woo hoo! Now write the day and date on the top left corner and the word “Thanks” underneath that. And write “Day Plan” on the top right corner. Like so…

Thursday, 3/4 Thanks... Day Plan

Now two assignments:

On the left, write a list of all the stuff you’re thankful for that you experienced yesterday. Fill up that side of the paper completely, even if you have to stretch it. This will begin the sexy-feeling process. Examples: “-for the understanding things my husband said.” “-for my safe neighborhood.”

On the right side, now that you’re feeling that glow, write up your official task list. What’s up for today? Include all tasks, personal, professional, and everything in between. Since you just listed all the juicy things from yesterday, your task list will be that much sexier and will continue to grow sexier the more you do it. You’re letting the Law of Attraction (“like attracts like”) bring you more sexiness.

For the Hairy Days: Addendum to the Day Plan

Here’s how you really sucker punch your hairy, scary days (the ones with 20+ tasks) and make them sexy.

Write “A” next to all the things that have to get done today.

Write “B” next to things that can wait until tomorrow.

Write “C” next to the “nice to haves.”

Enumerate the “A’s” in order of importance. A1, A2, A3. Then the B's and the C's. For example:

a. A1 Think sexy thoughts

b. A3 Pay Rent

c. A2 Say something sexy to spouse

d. A4 Go to work and make some dough.

The beauty is that you can be as organized (i.e. anal) as you want!

Congratulations. You’ve conquered your day and you know what to do. People who know what to do are super sexy. And you’ve reminded yourself of the excellent stuff in your life, which will relax you, which will make you glow, which will make you even sexier. Consider purchasing a fly swatter to fend off your new fans!
