People commonly complain they never have time enough to accomplish tasks The hours and minutes seem slipping away before many planned chores get done According to time management experts, the main reason of this is that most people fail to set priorities about how to do first They get tied down of trivial, time-consuming matters and never complete the important ones

One simple solution often used by those at the top is to keep lists of task being accomplished daily These lists order jobs from most essential to least essential and checked regularly through the day to assess progress Not only this is an effective way to manage time, but also it serves giving individuals a much –deserved sense of satisfaction over their achievements People do not keep lists often face the end of the work day with uncertainty over the significance of their accomplishment, which overtime can contribute with serious problem in mental and physical health

Example: mistake: time enough Correction: enough time

During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contributions of women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formedUnited States Lacking the right to vote and absent from the seats of power, women were not considered an important force in history Anne Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the seventeenth century,

Mercy Otis Warren produced the best contemporary history of the American Revolution, and Abigail

Adams penned important letters showing she exercised great political influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United States But little or no notice was taken of these contributions During these centuries, women remained invisible in history books

Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the efforts of female authors writing about women These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were amateur

historians Their writings were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical in their selection and use

of sources

During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of history by keeping records of activities in which women were engaged National, regional, and local women’s organizations compiled accounts of their doings Personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved and stored These sources from the core of the two greatest collections of women’s history in the United States one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College, and the other the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College Such sources have provided valuable materials for later Generations of historians

Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth Century, most of the writing about women conformed to the “great women” theory of History, just as much of mainstream American history concentrated on “great men.” To demonstrate that women were making significant contributions to American life, female authors singled out women leaders and wrote biographies, or else important women produced their autobiographies Most of these leaders were involved in public life as reformers, activists working for women’s right to vote, or authors, and

were not representative at all of the great of ordinary woman The lives of ordinary people continued,

generally, to be untold in the American histories being published
