i can see the woods for the trees, dammit
Three quarters of the way thru January and I still don't feel as though I can stop running to keep up. It's been busy (busy) but I'm feeling OK about how I've been coping so far.
- third week of college completed (homework less so but the deadlines are more than a week away)
- gallery exhibit pieces finished and delivered
- bricks-and-mortars re-stocked (a fancy way of saying that I've renewed inventory in all the shops I consign in)
- housework almost there
- bills paid
- family fed, in clean clothes, sane
I know what I need to do and how to do it.
But I would really like some kind of structure to my working week.
Last night I sat down with pen and paper to write out all my tasks for the month. From that list I tried to group them; business, volunteer, domestic, and so on, and that divided them into daily/weekly/monthly tasks. From this pattern I can plan out my week, allotting blocks of time to each type of task. If I draw up a master list, a. nothing should slip through, and b. I will never be at a loose end for something to do.
Heck! I might even feel like I'm making progress.
Gee! I might even schedule a day off :)
PS: I will be stepping off the wheel until mid week - I've got one post scheduled and then there's Monday when I will participate in shared reading, followed a skype interview with the awesome Amber for her Crafting My Life course, a school skating trip, and finally an anger management session for the Wee Guy.
