| See Those Buds |
Have you ever had one of those days where your work production suffered because all you could think about is what you wanted or needed to do when you got home? And once home, you couldn't get much of any of those things done because your mind wandered back to what you didn't accomplish at work and how that now will impact the next working day?
Well, welcome to my week. Every day. Every. Single. Day. last week I struggled to get out of the apartment in a timely manner that would guarantee an on-time work arrival; so mired in listing, planning, studying, arranging the work and home agendas. There was a work list. There was a home list.
Each carefully crafted to achieve maximum efficiency and success.
Somewhere in the mix, the lists conspired to become a muddled mess of: STUFF TO GET DONE which ultimately led to my scrambling, muddling, meandering, tick-tocking instead of humming right along.
Ouch. It was a long, topsy-turvy kind of week.
But, it is a new Monday. A new week. A new . . . attitude, if you will. Oh, I still have lists as there are still goals to achieve, tasks to clear. But something will change. I haven't quite mustered out what shape this change will take, how IT will manifest. But I have every confidence this week will be better.
Yo, you buying any of that?

If you believe it, I will buy it! And, it's got to work that way sometimes, right???
ReplyDeleteRight!?!
DeleteI think writing it down makes it believable... Sometimes putting those thoughts somewhere tangible makes you more accountable to them. That's how I feel anyway. I feel this way a lot, paralyzed by all the things that must get done yet I can't launch. This weekend was one of launching. Well, yesterday anyway. I'm sorry to hear it was a bad week for you too. But Monday is a new day and those buds on that tree show that the cycle has come back around and it's time for new life, new hope, new days, new goals. Fresh start. Hoping this is a much better week for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I have always used lists and agreed, much better when it is written down. Monday is in the books and so far, so decent.
DeleteI believe you :-) You know what I find helps? I make two (or sometimes even more) to do lists. So I have the general list of everything. But then I pull out two or three time sensitive tasks and put them on a post-it note and stick it on top of the to do list. So I make sure I get the ones on the post-it note done, and maybe even get to some on the real list (which now have the post-it note ones checked off). But if I only get to the post-it note ones, I still consider myself successful.
ReplyDeleteThat is a helpful tool. Thank you. We will see how the next days play.
DeleteI believe you!!!
ReplyDeleteWoot. Woot.
DeleteI no longer have a work list and yet I still cannot accomplish what I want on my home list. I get one thing done and five more things appear. I think we would do better if our lists said things like - rest, eat, nap . . .
ReplyDeleteI think you may be on to something there. :-)
