This morning I was feeling a bit (no, a lot) like these flowers … scattered. Very, very scattered.
I was up early … as in 4:30 early, argh … . But what good is being up at 4:30 if all you do is sit and spin your wheels; as in your mind going in all directions?! Some directions good, some not so good.
I was having thoughts about the state of the world. Thoughts about a somewhat violent TV series we’ve been watching. Thoughts about several creative projects I need to get working on. Thoughts about updates for my blog; just on, and on, and on, and on … and there I sat, getting nowhere fast.
Then I remembered seeing a blog post on Kim Klassen’s site about “How to Be More Productive” and decided to go back and re-read it.
Let me tell you it was a God-send! And here I am at the end of a very busy day with one big project well on its way to being finished!
I’m feeling a lot calmer, and way more in control. For me, its all about the timer. Thank you, Kim for helping me get back on track.
I’m also extremely exhausted. It looks likes it’s going to be a bath and early to bed kinda night for me.
;)
I know the feeling — I have so many things tugging at me that I don’t even know where to start. I have tried many times to schedule activities, but that never works for me. I am going to try Kim’s timer method, though. That sounds like something I could do.
I wish my “scattered-ness” looked as lovely as your flowers!
The timer is brilliant … I can really relate to this one! Thank you for stopping by León!
I can really connect, I am trying to focus on a new direction, new projects, my head is spinning too, I also found Kim’s ‘tide’ focus app, brilliant, plus I close all my social media apps down, and only keep the page I am working on open, every thing else gets shut down for a set amount of time, it is proving very effective for me so far!
Barb, I’ve been having a lot
of these “late nighters” lately
with my mind spinning and
no sleep in sight. Thank you
for pointing me in the direction
of Kim’s post ~ headed there,
next!
