busy monday

I was going to do the things I mentioned in my last blog, but in fact, I only got about 40% of it done today.  My mornings are always booked up doing the daily deposit, so I had planned to get caught up in the afternoon. But in the afternoon, I got sidetracked by a rush of customers, and I had to see customers at a window. That took away 40 minutes of my day. When I returned to my desk, my work was interrupted by questions from staff members, who I had to help with various problems. That always happens, but I hadn't accounted for it. Then some mail payments were brought to me, rather than to the other lead because she was tied up with another project. That took up another hour that I hadn't planed for. In the future, I have to plan for the unplanned things that come up, and budget my time accordingly and realistically.
