Two Months Late
It’s nearly the end of February and I’m two months late. I’m not close to where I’d mapped out to be in late December. I’m hitting one challenge after another. It's becoming frustrating. I’m on the wrong end of a learning curve, it’s all uphill. Even learning the tools to flatten the learning curve is frustrating. I must admit; however, learning the new tools is kind of fun.
I’ve always enjoyed asking questions. I’ve always enjoyed finding the answers. I’ve always enjoyed finding out the new stuff and figuring it out. How to make new things work in ways others can’t see is something that’s been a source of joy for decades. Now, I’ve been living with a self imposed deadline. Instead of enjoying the exploration of something new, my excitement is thwarted by time constraints.
Most importantly, others are working on the same things now. The playing field is level. The only separator is creativity and intellect. Fortunately for me, my Creator provided me with an abnormal amount of both.
Today, Monday, February 27, 2022, I am grateful that:
Daniel and I spoke a few days ago. I’d expressed my gratitude for his insights on setting a floor. He explained I needed to raise my floor and refuse to accept anything below my new found minimum. He even suggested an amount. It seems far-fetched, yet I’m sure it’s possible. I may have to find another vehicle to get there, I’m not entirely sure.
Herb and I spoke last week. We’ve been doing the same thing for years now and I’m so fulfilled by having someone a bit further down the path willingly sharing their experiences.
I’m back to writing now. It’s looking like my new schedule will be Monday through Friday for everyone else and the weekends for myself. I’m not liking this new schedule, but at least I know what it is. I’ll work on changing it later, but for now, I’ll live with it the way it is.
Are you on schedule?
How do you track your progress?
What mechanisms do you have in place to help catch up when or if you fall behind?
Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
