Back to work…

Me: I always think it’s corny when people say “I am speechless”
Um. No, you’re not.
S: right, like, “you just said something, motherfucker”
me: Exactly, I’m glad someone understands.
We should probably get spandex outfits and run around beating people up who say that.
It would be a valuable public service.
S: the hackney avengers
me: And the letter on our outfits? “…”
S: and our signature phrase will be “Really? Really?”
me: yes, this is going to be awesome.
I should go practice my punching.
S: and eye rolling
me: I got that down already.
S: does it draw blood?
me: Uh….. no.
S: back to work

For months (maybe longer?), I have been feeling overwhelmed and helpless about all the things I want/need to accomplish and seemingly unable to move forward. Every time I sit down to work at home, I would think about all the different things I should be doing in a short amount of time. I would get so paralyzed, that I pretty much did nothing instead.
Yesterday, I made a plan. I organized my goals into categories, gave each one a time frame, and entered them into an iphone organizer, so that I don’t have to hold them all in a jumble in my brain. Then, I plotted out a calendar, setting aside specific measured times to do whatever is next on the list. I also recognized my need to curtail social networking during these designated times, since that is a major distraction for me. I already feel much less “cluttered”, I think this will work.
