?!!?? Too Busy ?!!??

I found an interesting article that describes most of us -- TOO BUSY (no surprise there right)! However check-it out, our friends over at LearnVest ("a.k.a. LV") have come up with 13 signs of being TOO busy, and I was all tuned in from their introduction paragraph. "Busy is running from one appointment to the next. Too busy is running over someone on your way to the next appointment. Busy is leaving your cell phone behind at the grocery store.  Too busy is leaving your  kid behind at the grocery store."

The site, LearnVest, whose motto is, "strive to make our lives richer" even gives us some signs that should make us yield with caution and a few suggestion to help us slow it down. 

• Do you spend a good amount of time worrying about your time? If so, try to take a mental break. What is that you ask?? Remove one thing from your schedule just for today ladies that is the least important.  I agree with LV that putting off doing the laundry or not making that one work call could make all the difference in regaining your sense of mind.
• Have you not talked to your best friend in weeks?  I'm awful for this one, before I know it a week has turned into weeks.  LV suggests that you calendar and schedule in regular reminders to catch up with the important persons on your list. ***Elle would like to remind you that dropping a quick note in the mail to say "Hello, thinking of you" is always a grand idea and such a great way to stay connected as well. Drop Elle an email today to place your order!
• Are you sleep-deprived?  According to LV the CDC recommends that adults get seven to nine hours of sleep each night.  HUH?? They also claim to have proof that getting the rest you need improves our memory, boosts our ability to empathize with others, heightens our sex drive and increases our problem-solving skills two-fold.  Hmmm .. seven to nine hours you say!! ;)

Elle, would like to encourage you to read the complete article at, http://www.learnvest.com/2011/10/13-signs-youre-too-busy, and let us know what you think.  Additionally, if you have any other great suggestions of how we can slow down, take back some of our time, and smell the roses, we encourage you to share.

Additionally, for anyone who shares a recommendation on our Blog or Facebook, Elle would like to extend a V.I.P Real Party Girl 10% discount on your next custom stationery order placed before March 31, 2012 (sorry this doesn't apply to Real Party Girl invites).
