How do you manage priorities and too much work? Report this Message     
How do you keep your livestock a priority when you get busy with field work.

Seems like when we're planting, chopping, baling, harvesting etc. I'm so focused on keeping the equipment running the livestock kind of take a back seat. I would think this would be even more difficult with a dairy herd, where management is critical.

Seems vaccinations aren't as timely and feeding schedules get worse when I get in the field, especially when your battling weather and don't want to stop.

Do you just stop what you're doing at a certain time regardless, to care for the stock, or does everything go haywire at those times like it does around here?

Thanks...

I read the book - 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey and he has some read tools for organizing your most important work first - not the most urgent....you might want to pick up this book and try some of the ideas...it has helped me be more productive and less stressed.

Good luck
