It’s a beautiful fall morning here in middle Tennessee. My work for the day is finished, which is great, although I have more work I need to get done for the weekend. I am finding that I need to be more conscientious about breaking my assignments up into little chunks, smaller mini-goals instead of knocking everything all out at once. A few days this week I began my work day at 2 a.m., so that I could have everything done early in the morning, and have the day “off”. I really liked that, actually. However, getting 3 or 4 hours of sleep isn’t really a good life plan, so I will need to make the aforementioned adjustments to my work goals.
I found a really lovely planner for sale through one of the blogs I read, and I am itching to order it, but it is $50. Fifty bucks for a planner? Will it really help me be that much more organized? I love the IDEA of organization, and planning, and accomplishing goals and crossing them off the list… but then I get distracted. Owning a planner does not DO the planning for me. Very much like all the many empty notebooks I have, all the pretty pages that I see in the store and think, “If I had that notebook, with all that fresh, clean paper, I would really write something wonderful!” The possibility contained within those bindings, combined with that delicious fresh paper smell, it is intoxicating.
I lack discipline, confidence, consistency, and determination.
Very often I have great intentions, but my follow through is weak. And just like my work, I need to chop all of the other things I want and need to accomplish into smaller, manageable goals as well, otherwise I just get burned out and discouraged.
But mostly I just need to work harder, try harder, and DO more. Step away from the internet, the Facebook, the Pinterest, and the Twitter, and live my life in 3D. So, with that said… I need to get ready for the day, knock out a few loads of laundry at the laundromat, and go grocery shopping.
Have a WONDERFUL weekend, blog friends!!
