After reading your comments, I feel a bit rejuvenated to resume/continue this time management challenge. Over the past 2 weeks, I've have some definite improvements and some disappointments as well, but I keep trying. So following this posting I will revise my schedule and add in more structure. I really think that will make a difference. Also, I've finally figured out what my reward will be; I will go to the movies at the end of every week for being on time to all of my classes and work obligations. I'll focus on those two things for now and we'll see how I do.
In addition to getting to places on time, I also struggle with the amount of time that i allow to complete a particular task. So in my head, I think that doing this blog will take five minutes but it really takes 10. I'm not sure where that comes from, but it feels like I have a skewed perception of time lol. If I can succeed in reaching my goal for consistently being on time to classes, work, and meetings, I'll start working on my time allotment for tasks. Man, it's a looong road ahead.. but thanks for the support.
BTW your comments are right on regarding my focus on the failures more than the accomplishments. That's where the negative self-talk and irrational thinking comes into play lol. Unfortunately that's a bigger monster than this blog can handle, but at least I'm aware of it right?
Thanks again everyone.

Love the optimism Kris! Keep up the positive attitude - that might be half the battle. The movie idea sounds good. Have you ever been to Cine?
ReplyDeleteKristy, keep at it. Seems like you are really in tune with the challenge ahead. It does sound like a more positive outlook to focus on the successes vs. failures. We're cheering for you!
ReplyDeleteWell, my friend - you are back on track. Reading your blog helps me think about how I approach my tasks. I usually think in big pictures and often figure out that I also tend to do my tasks as big pictures - which obviously fails. I appreciate your experience in its power to guide me. Thank You. Cant wait to read more.
