More Ups and Downs
So yesterday, I got my exercise done, and I wrote 3000 words in my novel, but I didn’t look for a new job. Today I’ve done none of the above yet, but I’m going bowling later and writing more of the novel.
This experiment has been really strange. It’s almost like my brain can only focus on one or two major things at once. Any more than that and the others slip away, or become reasons to procrastinate. I’m looking at my list, and at one per month, I could complete the whole list in 3 years, which is a short time. On the flipside though, I want to complete them faster. It’s a conundrum. We overestimate our current capabilities, but underestimate our long term power.
I’m thinking about shifting back to two for now, but it’s so hard to choose. I need these three for now, but I’ll drop to two for December. I think it’s time to go to monthly 30 day trials. Even four at once is too challenging for me right now.
Oh well. Everything is a growth experience.
Ups and Downs
Life is full of them! I don’t know why I should have thought my new life would be any different. I might have changed, but the world still goes on.
I took on drawing and writing, learning french and playing piano. I crashed out quite bad. A few days on each, but nothing much on all of them. Now I’m experimenting with accountability. I’ve got a list of items I want to accomplish, and each day I do, I tick it off the list every day. It’s real proof about what I’m actually up to, rather than what I think I’m up to.
For now, I’m working on exercising for 30 mins daily, writing 3000 words of my novel for NaNoWriMo, and spend 60 minutes finding a better job. Just those three for this week, then a new one on Saturday. It’s not as easy as I thought, and I definately need to grow more in the realm of persistance.
I also want to blog every day, but that’s an experiment for another time.
