I suppose I am just having trouble putting my rear in gear. Usually, this is easily enough handled because my gears are only stripped in one or two areas. Currently, however, it feels like I'm not really in gear anywhere and I'm not quite sure how to handle that.
I am a list person, though, so I guess rather than going through each day hoping something magical is going to happen, I should chronicle the areas in which I need to figure things out and then just how I might go about doing that.
I'm growing a little tired of repeating the same depleted day as if I am a reporter at Gobbler's Knob waiting for a rodent to climb from a hole.
First and foremost, I need to carve out time to exercise. I know it will make me feel better and more accomplished. And, my clothes will not be as uncomfortable as they are slowly becoming. It was two or three weeks ago and I was sliding into things I'd not worn in ages. And now? I'm sitting here with a waistband trying to carve a graven image of itself into my side.
This is especially disconcerting because 1) I registered for the Flying Pig Half Marathon [which I intend to walk-run based upon a training program I've located; my goal is to finish; the race is in the beginning of May] and 2) I have an awesome iPod Nano to use to train and I've not even so much as had time to turn it on since I received it on my birthday.
Goofy.
Secondly, I have allowed my carefully organized couponing regimen to go down the tubes. I have the tools, I just have not carved out the time to sit down and reload my coupon arsenal. We need to stock up. Our pile is running low on essentials like women's deodorant, Lysol and Lysol wipes. Not cool at all.
I've set aside this evening to try and curb the madness and I'm hoping I can drag a little redhead into the fun and frivolity that is clipping and organizing coupons. The buzz from saving money might be enough to spark some motivation to do other good things.
I have circulars plus printed ones from the computer to manage and organize. So much money to be saved...so little time.
I need to better organize my work materials, files & records. I have the place to do it, but again, I have not carved out the appropriate block of time to just get it done once and for all.
My Scentsy spirit is lagging. I still love the product, don't get me wrong. I just find it hard to keep up with things when I'm running around in so many other areas. I don't really have a plan like I used to and it shows. I suppose if I break it down to basics, I can make some magic happen. The extra money certainly is nice when it's humming like it should!
I'm also extremely tempted to purchase something that appeals to this want-to-be-organized-like-I-used-to-be side of myself. I finally saw a planner in person yesterday in class and it made me want to log on and order immediately. But, it would probably take me until March or April to decide what I liked and then I'd only have 8 months left to use it anyway. Sigh.
Yeah. This disorganization I'm infected with is getting me down a little. Boo.
