I’ve had a gold star day...
A while back I posted the idea that in fact, I was not lost. I knew what I wanted to do... I just kept running into brick walls, therefore getting apathetic about my dreams.
So I decided to do something about it.
I pulled out my old dayplanner, and just started a daily todo list. More complex items like Yoga and walking were on it originally, but I've started watching what things don't get done, asking why... and trying to scale these things back a bit.
For example: Yoga was replaced today with 15 push ups, 15 sit ups and 15 leg lifts. And what do you know... without a problem the item was crossed off my list. Amazing.
So, there I go. I've had a gold star day today, which means I got a lot of what I wanted to accomplish today for turtle island, herbs, writing, drawing, programming, job search, health, & cleaning - done.
From now on, whatever I don't get done, instead of getting upset with myself, I will simply split the task in half and move it to the next day.
It sounds like a fairly reasonable idea....
