Received a terrible email the other day. It concerned my slow progress with the bookkeeping course I enrolled in last October. Since then I have only handed in two assignments. There is six months to go and I need to complete another 18 assignments!
It just goes to show how poor my planning skills are. I thought I had longer than 12 months and fewer than 18 assignments to go.
I have been mulling over a piece of advice I was given yesterday – to prioritise “me” time. It didn’t really sink in at first because it seems like everything is “me” time in my life. The truth is that I seem to thrive on sacrificing “me” time. I spend so much time doing Hospice work, but it is not planned very well, so I don’t seem to be getting anywhere. And other areas of my life suffer the shortfall.
I guess this is why I always feel so stressed and wrung out, and it seems like everything in my crazy, disorganised life is a mess.
I want to turn this around but I need some tools to help me do this. One of the tools, I think, will be this blog. I shall record my efforts and progress. Don’t want to live like this anymore!
So today is Day One of getting order into my life.
