Foggy Start to Friday January 26th
When I got up this morning, I saw a foggy day may be ahead. My porches are all wet from the heavy rains and fogs the last three day. In the last few days, I have gone thru my old boxes of junk. I found old task list the look much like what I had last year. This shows I was attempting to do projects. However, it appears I never really created an overall project plans. I was more reactive than proactive. I need to research this aspect of my of my past. Why did projects not get done?
So my old task lists had flaws
On this foggy start to Friday, I am asking myself why? Why I made lists and why I did not always follow thru on them. This begs the question, will my current plans fall short? What can I do to be successful? Is this a life long pattern I need to resolve? Perhaps, I need to look at my successes instead of looking at my failures. Use my successes and draw from them strength. The science part of me says I need to gather data. The disorganized ADHD part of my brain has a bit of anxiety about all this. So I play a several games of Solitaire and watch YouTube and am phone doom scrolling.
So I will use my project plan resource and gather data
As I go thru my old stuff, I am finding books and resources I can use. I found a book on the “Balanced Score Card” from when I was working on data warehouses. I have the 12 Week year book and I finished reading the Bullet Journal book. With these tools I can regroup and collect data and come up with a logical easy to follow map to my goals. Also at the same time, I need to make it enjoyable also and lower my stress level.
In summary, I am getting to work. I have these tasks to do:
- bury the cat I found in the road
- go grocery shopping
- a bit of yard work
- have fun
- revise my overall project plans to fit my future
The fog has lifted and the sun is out. I hope this helps those who read this blog! Thanks!
