Progress report on my yesterday’s post. I managed to pick up all those tools, etc., vacuum, and find the floor. Since my not much sleep journey continued this morning with waking at 4am, I opted to start sorting a box of paperwork that I thought contained a form I couldn’t find. I ended up with two wastepaper baskets of trash, a bag of recycling, more than one load for the shredder, and more to file.

The floor, unfortunately, at this writing is littered with more piles. Now it feels overwhelming again. I could avoid this feeling if I just handled it when I first got it. The Do It Now principle, touch it once… none of that is unfamiliar to me but yet it feels impossible most days.

There are so many demands on my time from both the Design Resumes side and the Wausau Whitewater side that time seems to fly away. Add in financial management, laundry, eating (it is good to find time to do more than make a sandwich), I’m exhausted by nightfall. I have good intentions to keep working until bedtime and most nights I do but I am still working on the urgencies which are not necessarily the priorities and maintenance of filing, mail opening, etc. are still left for another day.

This post sounds rather whiney and it isn’t intended to be… Consider it more a cry for help or at least a cry for a cheerleading squad to encourage me to push on for a few more minutes every day and try harder to succeed with the
Do It Now Concept. So I said my piece, your turn to help give me peace!
