Today I want to talk about one of the things on my to do list that is the hardest for me to do, and the one that most often gets set aside until the next day – or later. Rest. Now I know many of you might be double-taking at that. Rest? Like, doesn’t that …
March: In like a Lion, out like a lamb I’m sure you’ve heard that saying before. Funnily enough, this and “April showers, bring May flowers” are the only two sayings around the months that I can remember with any kind of ease. I say funny, because you’d think that if we’d come up with two, …
At the beginning of the year, I made a change to the daily “To-Do” list. I started dividing it into two sections which I called: “Important and Urgent” and “Important but not Urgent.” This change has had some benefits, which I’d hoped for. It keeps me on track better than simply brain dumping onto the …
I’ve been interested in Happiness for a while now. Seems like a kind of silly thing to say I mean, after all, who wouldn’t be interested in Happiness? But this isn’t about something you acquire, it’s more in the vein of what Happiness is (and what it isn’t) and how it works. I started off …
Welcome to the first Sunday of the last month of 2023. There are only four more of these in 2023. Kind of hard to believe isn’t it. Like where did the time go? It’s a rainy, bleary, day in my neck of the woods, custom built for bundling up (not that it’s all that cold …
I just finished listening to the audiobook of Good to Great by James Collins and I ran across this concept. If you know me at all, you’ll know that I love me a good list. I write them out by hand – which I also love doing – and the one I create the most, …
Yesterday was pretty busy. Ok, Saturdays usually are. It’s the day I can start to get caught up on all the stuff that I’d like to do, but which get slid over onto the back burner in favor of the demands of the Day-to-Day. It could have been busier still because, for a while there, …
We’re now down to the last couple of days in my month of “Rest.” If you’re new to the blog (Welcome!) you can find my Week 1 post here. I’d started off trying to turn July, which is also my birthday month, into a month of rest, making it an atypical month from the rest …
Prioritization. Flexibility. And Music. This past week was the third week in my month of “Rest.” And it was pretty busy. Sometimes like is like that. Things come up and knock heads with your carefully planned day. I used to find that pretty stressful – ok, that makes it sound like I don’t find it …
Here we are, at the halfway point in my quest for rest this month and…I’m starting to think that I wouldn’t know what true rest was if I tripped over it. Ok that might not be exactly true, but it sure is a hard to come by thing. Part of it is the muscle memory …
