Forsyth County 4-H’ers
compete for state honors
From staff reports
The State 4-H Congress
competition held this summer
in Atlanta decided the best in
the state. Forsyth County was
represented by Sarah Guilbeau,
Brittany LeCave, Kelli
Mitchell and Mary Singleton.
The 245 teens in the state
congress competition had each
won earlier county and district
competitions. They gave illus¬
trated talks on what they
learned in their projects. They
also prepared portfolios of
their project work, and
answered questions about their
work.
Singleton placed first in the
festive foods project where she
prepared a turkey meatball
soup. As a state 4-H winner,
Singleton will represent
Forsyth County and Georgia 4
H at National 4-H Congress in
November.
LeCave placed second in
the dairy foods project where
she made cheese tortellini.
Guilbeau presented a proj¬
ect on journalism in workforce

■ to manage time
By Michlle Melton
For the Forsyth County News
In the spirit of my last
article about new begin¬
nings, 1 thought it would be
appropriate to offer a few
time management strategies
to help get you off on the
right foot.
Below are some of the
recommendations from the
u Time Management: 10
Strategies for Better Time
Management” publication
available through UGA
Cooperative Extension.
1) Know how you spend
your time. Start by record¬
ing how you spend your
time throughout the week,
and determine the time of
day when you’re most pro¬
ductive.
Analyze where most of
your time is devoted (job,
family, recreation, etc.) and
consider whether you’re
investing your time in the
most important activities.
2) Set priorities. Get
organized by making a to-do
list. Be sure to priority rank
the tasks on the list, keeping
in mind a realistic sense of
what can be accomplished in
your given time frame. A
warning: Don’t let the list
making get out of control.
Lists are supposed to be
time management tools, not
time-taking tasks them¬
selves.
3) Use a planning tool.
A paper list is useless if you
lose it. Pick a planning tool
that is convenient, portable,
and amendable. The bottom
line is that the tool must suit
your style, and you must use
it consistently.
4) Get organized.
Disorganization results in

A handle

tion only
Melton once. You
have five
basic options for handling
information: 1-throw it
away, delete it or get rid of
it; 2-delegate it: give it to
someone else to do, file or
respond; 3-act on it yourself,
then throw it away or file it;
4-file it temporarily until it
needs action or until addi¬
tional information is
received; 5-file it perma¬
nently where you can find it
easily later.
5) Schedule your time
appropriately. Scheduling
is not just recording what
you have to do, it is also
making a time commitment
to the things you want to do.
Plan your most challenging
tasks when you have the
most energy and protect that
time from interruptions.
6) Delegate: Get help
from Others. Delegation
begins by identifying tasks
that others can do, and then
selecting the appropriate
person(s) to do them. Be
specific in defining the task
and your expectations, but
allow the person some free¬
dom to personalize the task.
Don’t forget the option to
“buy” yourself time. This
can come in the form of pay¬
ing for a service (i.e. lawn
care) or coordinating efforts
with others (develop a car¬
pooling rotation).
7) Stop procrastinating.

There’s just no getting
around this. Perhaps the
task you’re avoiding seems
overwhelming or unpleasant.
Try breaking it down into
smaller segments that
require less time commit¬
ment. If feasible, build -in a
reward system as you (Com¬
plete each small segment '*!• of
a task.
8) Manage external
time wasters. Common time
stealers are the telephone,
unexpected visitors, meet¬
ings, mail/e-mail and family
obligations. A large part of
managing these is learning
to say “no,” or at the very
least, “not right now.” Don’t
allow other people’s plans to
control (or ruin!) your day.
9) Minimize multi-task¬
ing. While folding laundry
as you chat with Aunt
Mildred on the phone is an
excellent opportunity to
multi-task, switching back
and forth between tasks
often results in a loss of pro¬
ductivity. Routine multi¬
tasking may also lead to dif¬
ficulty in concentrating and
maintaining focus when
needed.
10) Stay healthy.
Scheduling time to relax can
help you rejuvenate physi¬
cally and mentally. The care
and attention you give your¬
self is an important invest¬
ment in time; it also enables
you to accomplish other
tasks more quickly and easi
