Some Decisions Have to be Made
Sep. 29th, 2012 11:03 amAnd it can be a fight between my inner child and outer adult. Since having children I am responsible for, the outer adult usually wins and that is not a bad thing. My inner child can be really a poor decision maker and has been in the past. But not all the time. Sometimes my inner child telling me to go for it has led to some interesting adventures and friendships I would not have otherwise. But I have to balance that with what I need to do for hearth and home.
I am an adequate housekeeper. The house is cluttered but it is not filthy and I take pride in that. Did I wish I had the mad housekeeping skills that others that I know have? Yes, but I also know my limitations. Right now I have a project that has stalled where I am cataloguing all our DVDs. The program was on my computer that the screen shorted in. I think I got it backed up on my terabyte drive but I am not sure. So I need to do one of two things, either find the back up data or start over again. Either way I need to get the project out of stall and into drive. There are also things that need to get put back from the Hurricane last year. Along with the usual sorting of things. And that can get a little overwhelming. So I am going to start at point A and work my way to Z along with getting the house in order.
Along with that are creative projects that I need to get done. There are only so many hours in a day and I need to start stage managing my hours so I can get about 36 hours worth of work within 24. So I am going to make a schedule for myself each day with how long I think something is going to take me. I will then time myself and adjust times as needed and try to get a handle on my life. That means I am going to hold myself accountable to what I do with my minutes. I wonder if there is an app for that.
I also need to start getting ready for Halloween. There is yard work to be done before the graveyard goes in place and the lights up and operating.
I figure if I put this out here, I’ll feel obligated to do something. It has worked before.
I am grateful for the help I get a home to keep it a home.
