Stepping Back
April 11, 2016
It’s Monday and it’s a busy one – two sick kids, one getting better. The sick kids led to two dental appointments being cancelled and rescheduled. I am getting caught up on laundry, vacuuming and sweeping. I am also decluttering a little each day as well – I currently have bags in the back of the van awaiting Goodwill drop off. All of this led me back to what I had been thinking about April recently – I need to get all of this stuff done! Oh, wait a minute, wasn’t there these goals that would take all year instead? Yeah, forgot about that.
So, it’s time to evaluate what is getting done and what’s not getting done. What needs to be done when and working the bigger projects all year while staying up on the daily and weekly stuff. What in my system is currently working and what is not.
I’m glad I caught myself before rushing headlong (again) into things without a plan. And when you have a large family you have to have a plan or you can get sidetracked quite easily.
That’s what I will do this week – evaluate and make plans. I know it sounds rigid, but it’s not. I need to have some order and when things are out of sorts so am I. I also need to have time to do quiet things like read or watch something that I enjoy or even be creative. That’s why I’m stepping back to see the whole picture and then focusing in on the details.
