Focused

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.
