I finished my analysis and assignment. It feels good to have that off my plate. I have a couple of errands today and some phone calls to make. I'm not sure I want to do much else. I have a status report meeting next week and nothing to show for it. I feel like I ought to be working on that project but I'm resisting it.

Feeling like I need to do a million things at once, as usual.
1. I received a notice that a service provider I'm not happy with is raising rates as of February. I need to give thirty day notice to cancel service. I have ten days to cut bait. 2. I have just over two weeks to prepare for a course I am unprepared for. I need to walk in with a completed project for critique and I am starting from ground zero. 3. I haven't been working on an old project I'm almost done with. I need to finish it so I can move on with my life. 4. Christmas prep I am meeting up with family today and have one errand this afternoon. I will take the following specific actions on the above. 1. Take fifteen minutes to confirm the new provider has the same capabilities as the old provider. Remember that I can just pay an extra month and it's not the end of the world. Better to have a smooth transition. 2. Take fifteen minutes to review old projects to see if there's anything that might fit the bill. 3. Spend thirty minutes on the old project. 4. Find some envelopes and cards. |

 When I’m overwhelmed and have a lot on my mind, I make a list and pause. Yes. I take a pause. •I watch a Marvel movie or something with supernatural elements instead of anything serious. •I polish my nails. •Eat a lot of veggies, fresh fruits and drink lots of water. •I rest, get plenty of sleep. •I do this self care for about 3 days. I learned that being overwhelmed triggers my depression….hashimoto and so on. Also taking a step back and focusing on self care will help make sure I H.A.L.T. first. Afterwards, I wake up feeling refreshed and ready to be productive. Thursday morning I felt like this and spent two hours typing up e-mails. Then I washed my laundry and went to the library. I practiced my Native Indigenous language and discussed plans for Kwanzaa. I’ve been dealing with anxiety. I pause and the burning in my chest stops. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Last Week My Adult Daughter Called with a List of Foods She Wanted for Our Kwanzaa Dinner.
I Like to Cook for My Kids but I Definitely Didn’t Feel Up to Cooking a Feast or Time Consuming Foods… But I was Going to Do It for Them. Yesterday I was on My Way to the Grocery Store. She Called to Change Our Kwanzaa Menu. It’s A lot More Simplified. I Went Home to Rest. I’m Going to Surprise Her Later and Cook All The Requested Foods. Pain My Pain Level Has Not Been Too Bad. I Purchased a Foot Massager and I Like It. Rest I Went to the Grocery Store, Walked My Dog and Took a Nap. Tasks List I Woke Up from My Nap, Ate and Folded My Laundry.

I read about a time management trick. I’m going to do it…
People often say they don’t have time to do “blah blah.” Write down everything you do for a few days or a week. Log how long you do each thing. •Work, Exercise, Cooking, Run errands, On social media, Hanging with family or friends •Reading/studying. Etc. This shows how your time is used.

I spent most of yesterday watching a tv show and playing video games. Today has to be different. I did some work *related* to document 3 but did not actively work on document 3 that much. Also, I had meant to attend an online networking event but was dreading it and then completely forgot about it. Now I'm sorry I missed it.
Today I have one meeting and need to run some errands. I'm reluctant to even make a list today. I find that when I fail to work on a prioritized task one day, I want to avoid adding it to my list the next day. |

I spent all of yesterday with my daughter. We had a great time. Today I am updating and scheduling appointments for the three of us (a complicated task with all those appointments. One time 8 in one week). I’m also working on my finances and still working on a credit due me from a travel company. I’ve already cleaned the kitchen and taken the trash out aside from having coffee and camaraderie with my daughter before she left. It’s beautiful and 73F outside. I’m going to put on my tennis shoes and head for the park.
I hope everyone has a peaceful day. |

Yesterday was okay. I got some cooking and cleaning done, did my errands. I've set up a weekly check in for one project which will hopefully keep me on track.
Today I have a couple of optional meetings which I may or may not attend. I feel overwhelmed with things I want to do and am struggling to prioritize. 1. Baking project. 2. Doc #3 3. Project selection 4. Correspondence catch up 5. Migration project 6. Library 7. Homework |

I forgot all about my meetings, whoops. I worked on two out of my seven items yesterday. Today I will try a shorter list.
1. Exercise. 2. Project selection - look for findings and start writing up. 3. Homework |

I’m deeply depressed and feel hopeless today. I’m going to take a relaxing, hot shower and head out to run some errands. Hopefully I’ll rally. There are a number of things I’d like to get done today but that might not be realistic. I’ll start with a shower, dressing and running errands. Baby steps.
Best wishes to all for a grand 2022! |

Happy New Year!
I started writing up something yesterday and feel better for it. I will do a little more of that today. I did not exercise or touch my homework. I have also not used my lists lately and will aim to do that today. |

1. Do an exercise video. 2. Homework 3. Work on #3 4. Continue write up |

Today my whole family gathered for a meal so I spent my morning getting ready for that. It went spectacularly well. I’m resting and then I’ll do the dishes, finances and straighten the house. Tomorrow I have lots of errands to run and therapy. I’ll detail that tomorrow in a list.

I only completed two of my list items yesterday, but the day felt productive. I got out of bed extremely early this morning to work on something but still haven't started it.
1. Continue work on new project. Tomorrow morning I need to decide if I should continue with it or try something else. The clock is ticking. I need to have something usable by next Monday. 2. Use my lists when I need a break. 3. Exercise |

Topic: Peer Ran Mastermind (Accountability) Groups.
Podcast: Online Marketing Made Easy with Amy Porterfield. Episode #414 “How To DIY Your Own Mastermind I Came Across A Podcast Episode that Really Resonated with Me. My Takeaways It’s Counterproductive Seeking Opinions and Feedback from Individuals or Groups that Do Not Work in the Same line of Work, have the Exact Same Illnesses You Have or other Struggles. •It Does Make a Difference Obtaining Feedback from Individuals Who Can Relate and Have Lived Experiences vs Just Giving Their Opinions. •One or Two People Should be the Main Group Contacts. •Set Group Rules. •Discuss the Highs and Lows Since Last Meeting. •Meet Virtually. •Decide How Often Meeting Will Be. •Smaller Groups are Best. •Don’t Make the Group too Big, 4-6 People in a Group is Good, too Many People Makes the Group is Counterproductive and Hard to Manage.

While watching a vlogger (entrepreneur) discuss planning and starting new projects.
She discussed her process for scheduling tours, marketing etc. What I liked is her and other writers automatically plan for 7-9 sick days per quarter. Everyone gets sick and employers need to acknowledge we are all human. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
