Breath of fresh air
Today feels like a breath of fresh air in my heart and soul. It is a good and a big day full of work and effort and passion and HOPE.
One of the things that has helped me this week is using a time table instead of a to do list. Adding times to the tasks and laying it out on a spreadsheet of half an hour rows (just like we used to at school) has actually helped me a lot with over planning and despair afterwards. I used to put loads of things in and "be okay" with stuff not getting done and rolling over to the next day.
Trying a different method has shown me just how not okay I was with 'being okay' about that, especially on days where a lot of stuff rolled over. As the artists way says: "set small and gentle goals and meet them". I judge this to be good advice because for me Consistency beats Passion, Drive, Despair or Talent 10 time out of 10.
So now I have a timetable just like I did at school: 8 columns by enough rows for each one to be half an hour of the day from 9am to 11pm.
And my trick to using it has been to ALWAYS leave a half hour gap between each task. This both allows for overrun / for me to start tasks early, AND forces me to not pack too much in to the day. The frustration comes all up front when I am planning and have to leave stuff out rather than afterwards along with a message of 'failure' for not getting it all done.
So I am enjoying my breath of fresh air and my new weekly scaffolding / time table.
