Ok, I know I’m guilty for not updating my blog. I’m sorry. Just been very very very busy with lots and lots and lots of stuff in this world lately. One just cannot anticipate when headaches will come. Life would be better if we had some sort of a red flashing warning light telling us of impending problems but that ain’t the case.
So, finally some movement. I’ve decided to “Rethink my life” which caused a few friends here and there to ask me about it. Well, truth be told, if I want to live my life to its fullest, I really need to reorganize myself and rethink my plans. Otherwise, all that I’m doing – no matter how elegant, awesome or noble – will just be thrown in to the crap bin.
Now what? I made a list of things that I am currently doing and crossed out anything that can or must be crossed out. These basically are the stuff that I’m doing that’s “not worth it” if you know what I mean. The list (sorry, I won’t be showing it here) is so full of crap that I’m amazed how I managed to survive until now. I ended up with a rather manageable set of things that I really need to do on a daily basis after I cleaned up the list.
Next, I allotted time to each of the items left in my list. One hour for this, 30 minutes for that, 8 hours for this, 4 hours for that, etc, etc, etc. I know I won’t be able to follow it to the letter but that’s not what it’s meant to be. It’s not going to be a lawbook that I need to follow “or else”. Rather, it’s a guide that will help me prioritize what needs to be done.
Lastly, I began using Google Calendar once more. It’s been too long since I last used it that I didn’t know it already has a tasks list feature – a very welcome feature indeed. Now I can organize my schedules and keep tabs of my tasks. Even better, I can sync it with my iTouch – another very very welcome feature.
I hope all these rethinking and reorganizing will help me become more productive in the days to come. I have big huge dreams for my family and I just need to be as productive as I can be without having to sacrifice quality time with my wife, kids, mom and brothers.
There, I don’t know how to end this post so I think I just to stop typing.
