It’s almost a If You Give a Mouse a Cookie type story. You know the one? If you give a mouse a cookie, he’s going to want a glass of milk. If you give him a glass of milk, he’ll probably ask you for a straw.” And so on.

Well, if you vacuum while the dog’s sleeping, then you’re going to wake him up.

If you wake him up, he’s going to need to go outside.

If he goes outside, he might get all muddy from digging in the dirt.

If he gets all muddy, he’s going to need a bath.

If you give the dog a bath, you’re going to get all wet.

If you get all wet, you’ll need to change your clothes.

And on and on it can go.

There are a lot of responsibilities we juggle as women, and while maybe a bit silly, I think my example shows that we can have some guidelines to keep us focused on what matters most and taking advantage of opportunities that come our way.

Let me share a few more examples of how we might prioritize our tasks and still finish what needs to get done by keeping things in their proper order.
