A good start

It feels like a new start. I’m off from work and finally have some time and space to look ahead and plan. I’ve been known as a real planner, well I was. But the last 18 months have been quite turbulent and my planning skills went out the window together with my goals and ambition. People have often said in the past I should put less emphasis on these attributes on focus on other, presumably more inner qualities. It’s all well meant, and I don’t contest this advice, but truth remains, I need to have my life organised.  I feel lost if I don’t have my priorities set and see results against those. So yesterday evening I had an epiphany. Well perhaps not exactly, but I decided to do something about it. I took out my trusted diary and made a simple action list. It only extends to a few days ahead but it felt good having written everything down that should have been dealt with days and in some occasions weeks ago. After Christmas starts the real focus, but for now I want to have all the mind clutter out of the way.

My mundane task list for today consist of

-    Laundry
-    Dry cleaning
-    Christmas shopping
-    Administration
-    Grocery
-    Ironing

Not very exciting, but by the end of the of the day I will feel better for having a few of these items off my mind.
