It is Monday - a fresh new week!
I had a nice weekend. Nothing happened in particular, we spent time at home getting little things done and relaxing. I did not touch any work, and did not feel guilty about it! I think not rushing around, and just having quiet time at home is the key for me at the moment.
I got a little more decluttering done - this time in my teeny laundry.
Last night I went to bed early, to have a good start to the new week. I was woken before 4.30 am, and every time I drifted off after that I was woken again, by various things. So today has not been very productive. But I managed to go for a tiny walk (it started pouring so was shorter than what I had intended). I ate an apple when all I wanted was some comfort food (and then I ate the comfort food after!)
I am about to go to bed. I need a good night's sleep tonight.
My 'should do' list seems to be growing out of proportions in my head - it seems to totally paralyze me and I do nothing. I am pretty sure I have written something similar before too. So for tomorrow I have 5 goals:

- read through some important documents that arrived in the mail today, and make a related todo list
- go for a short walk as soon as I get home in the afternoon
- tidy up the rest of the stuff and vacuum next to my bed so I have somewhere where I can spread out my yoga mat and do some simple yoga
- eat an apple and a banana as a snack
- go to bed by 11pm
This time I will report on how I completed each item :-)
I have tried to find an appropriate picture for this post, but my internet is soooo slow at the moment that I give up..... I was planning to be asleep by now :-)
I have one more thing to add to your should do list:
ReplyDeleteDon't add anything more until the above are completed.
The bigger the list grows, the more overwhelming the tasks become, even the simplest ones.
I really should stop giving out advice that I don't follow myself :-)
good luck with your goals
Thanks Nevyn, I think that is very good advice!! I really struggle with getting overwhelmed. My plan is that as soon as I am back from work I get stuck into the walk and tidy. I am going to make a photocopy of the documents now at work so I can highlight and make notes, and go through it while I have lunch. On that note, I better get stuck into some of my work instead of doing other things :-)
