Feeling A Bit Overwhelmed

“Feelings aren’t facts” as they change and facts don’t. Yet, this morning and the majority of the week, I’ve felt a little overwhelmed. I’ve unknowingly abandoned my list of things to do. I pulled it up this morning and there’s so many things to finish, I got overwhelmed again. Plus, there’s so many more things to add to that list.

I’ll finish my list the same way you eat an elephant. I’ll get it all done. I’ll remain vigilant. No others will complete what’s been assigned for me to finish. My duty is mine and mine alone. I’ll have assistance along the way, but in the end, the responsibility falls squarely upon my shoulders.

It would be great to expound more on this, but I’ve got things to get finished. Some days it’s not about talking or writing, it’s about taking focused, massive action.

Today, Friday, August 26, 2022, I am grateful that:

Herb and I had our weekly conversation. He’d offered his inputs on a first chapter submission. We discussed a few other things and moved on with the remainder of our day.

Even though my phone is broken, I’m still in communication via other means. Not having access to my phone has given me some insight into how much time I can waste with the phone. Now that this distraction is eliminated temporarily, it’ll be interesting to see how much more I can accomplish.

I was able to inform the office administration of my lease. I further informed them of my need for privacy and to not be bothered with the likes of unwelcome guests. We’ll see if the admin and security staff will enforce my wishes.

How do you monitor your progress towards your goals?

What steps do you take when you fall short?

What changes do you make?

How quickly do you implement those changes?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
