Relax and Exhale
Where does the time go? I promised myself that I would slow down a bit more and just relax. Easier said than done. I have so many personal projects that I want to complete and my days appear to be shorter than normal. I need to stop what I am doing and get better organized.
First of all, I did manage to create a daily schedule of tasks that I need to do on the internet. Performing theses tasks usually takes up most of my day and around 5:30 pm, I take a dinner break. Second, I normally perform my everyday domestic chores after dinner. I really don’t like a lot of clutter, and it’s easier to clean when everything is organized and put away. Afterwards, I’m back on the internet finishing up the last of my tasks for the day.
I did allow myself to relax and watch two hours of television last night. Something that I haven’t done in the past two weeks. The most time-consuming task that I need to perform is reading research material. Each day, I stack up books and magazines that I plan to read, but somehow can never manage to do this. So in between page loads, while I am surfing the internet, I try to read a book or check out a few articles in a magazine. Once the page loads, I realize that I have only read about a paragraph or two. This is so pathetic that I can’t help but laugh at myself. I really need to get a grip on my mind-bending behavior. So, for the sake of my sanity, I am going to take a walk, prance and enjoy the fresh air.
