Distracted

May 10th, 2012 at 05:30 pm

Have you ever been so flooded with thoughts that you can't stay focused? That's how I am feeling right now. Thinking about our business, the house, finances, life in general, things I want to do, things I wish I could buy.... (sigh)
I am off Friday from work so I am planning on doing as much around the house as possible and just GET IT DONE. Saturday I have to go to our shop and work, but then I am going to redo my budget and try to get to where I have nothing to do on Sunday.
Starting couch to 5K too and doing yoga once a week. Maybe the exercise will help me. A friend suggested I try to get some outside time - no cell phone/no computer/ no TV - to try to "center myself."

Positive note - the business turned a profit for April! Made me breathe a little easier.

    Heck yes. I get that way periodically. It helps to set up ongoing project lists including a "Someday/maybe" one, and just put a recurring note on whatever calendar you most rely on, reminding you to check the projects and see if anything needs to be done with them. Clarifying next actions (if there are any) and getting them out of your head onto paper (or into Google Docs, as I do) goes a long way toward clearing your mind.

    If you haven't already, I suggest the book "Getting Things Done." That's where I got the system I mentioned. Right now I need to get caught up on it, but even after a month or so of neglect, my papers and my mind are much more organized than before I implemented his system.

    Agree with your friend!! And I'm sure the exercise will help.
