Okay, Day 3 of trying to better prioritize a list of tasks that need to get done! So I've figured out what I need to do, and the method to use to figure out which items are the most urgent. Now it's time to put these tools to use so I can create a game plan for myself!

So let's take a look at my CARVER matrix for my current to-do list (sorry ( Read more... )

So after chatting with Sarah yesterday while preparing our ceremony schedule, it turn out that some of the tasks on yesterday's Wedding list aren't so immediate - the appointment to look at rings can wait 'til March, and the designs for the programs and the cake boxes can wait until April. That's a bit off of my shoulders. On top of that, I managed ( Read more... )

I don't wanna.
Maybe later.
I just don't feel like it.

There's a ton of things to do, and I don't want to do them. Yup. You heard me. I really just want to slack off and not bother with them.

However, I'm not going to allow myself that option.

Kevin challenged me some time back to do a blog series on prioritization, since he knows that I hate to do it. ( Read more... )

Life's rarely easy; if things just fall into place for you time and time again - kudos to you; I'm totally envious.

This morning I overslept, getting me to church about a half-hour late. I could try and justify it to you right now, but why come up with excuses? Let's just face the issue head-on: one of the areas in which I could improve is my ( Read more... )

It's February 19th - do you know where YOUR New Year's Resolution is???
This is about the time of year where I hear my gym-going buddies gripe about how full their gyms are at the beginning of the year, with people flooding in trying to lose that extra weight, firm those muscles, etc.., but pretty much back to regular levels by mid-February. Those ( Read more... )

"It is hard to fight an enemy who has outposts in your head."
--Sally Kempton

The problem with writing a daily blog - or committing to anything daily, for that matter - is that it's very unlikely that you'll have good days every day of the year. Sometimes you won't want to bother; sometimes you just want to roll over, go back to bed and tell the day ( Read more... )

"Never do - what they do, what they do, what they do..." -- The Roots, "What They Do",
So we've discussed worrying and temptation - both of which aren't necessarily bad things, but in smaller quantities. In larger amounts, they can take control of your mind and make you act in ways you might not prefer. But moreover, controlling these is but one of ( Read more... )

"Don't mess with Mr. T
Don't mess with Mr. T
T (he'll get ya)
T (he'll get ya)
T (he'll get ya)
T (temptation...)" -- Big Sean, "Mr. T",
If I were to write a list of the things in life that can be a pain in the ass, temptation would be way up there on the list. All too often, our ids take us down paths we probably shouldn't be taking, mostly due to ( Read more... )

Worrying is so 2010. It's human to worry - we did it pretty well from 2007-2010, with the recession heralded by the subprime mortgage crisis and all. The news says that we shows signs of recovery, and yet we worry.
Centuries ago, the Mayans developed a calendar that predicted the end of the world (as we know it) in 2012. We've had Nostradamus make ( Read more... )

I could've done a Valentine's Day entry, but I didn't have it in me. I have a lot of ideas concerning love, dating and relationships, but this isn't a blog focusing on that. That'll be for another place and another time, and maybe by next Valentine's Day I'll have something solid for y'all to read.
Oh no, today's post is something else altogether. ( Read more... )
