Weekly Wrap Up
The week is almost over and I haven’t gotten much accomplished. Lots of research and no completed projects. These are disappointing times to acknowledge. It’s all from decisions I’ve made and I can accept responsibility for my actions, recent and past, but this week it hurts more than normal.
I didn’t realize until yesterday how much time I’d wasted. I’ve made some purchases and spent so much time looking for the software receipts compared to using the software. My old laptop died and I haven’t been able to access the software, plus I hadn’t used it in months so it was frustrating to say the least. The silver lining is I found two suitable alternatives and I’ll be able to get the same things done this weekend.
Another thing about this week is the recognition of a timeline. When working for myself, tracking my progress was laxed to say it nicely. On a job, different story, but with me as my boss, quite laxed. After my accident though, I feel as if I’m on borrowed time. I have a sense of urgency I don’t typically have. It’s different. My history doesn’t include this feeling and it’s a bit unsettling. It’s uncomfortable and Im totally okay with the feeling, it’s just new.
I’ve also been irritable over the last few weeks. Again, not something that’s normal, but it’s been happening. I don’t want to sit back and say that people are out to get me, but small things are bothering me like they would not have before. All these little things are adding up. I’m not about to explode, but I’m aware things are slightly more important. I’m cool with some of the post accident changes and others will take some getting used to.
Today, Friday, April 19, 2024, I am grateful that:
Herb and I had our weekly conversation. He gave me some input on a couple of employee management concerns. He also provided some input about my upcoming community. It’s great to have such an invaluable resource in him.
Some friends from back home have reached out to check on my progress. Not life long friends, but most of these relationships are over twenty years old. I consider myself fortunate to have people I’m still communicating with that have known me for so long.
There’s a little light at the end of the tunnel. My research this week gives me hope for work today and this weekend. I should be able to make some progress and move things forward in swift order.
What’s something you could have done better this week?
How can you change that for next week?
What did you do well this week?
How can you keep that momentum going?
Abe,
Be Greater!!!
