It is January 2, 2016 and I am sitting here writing
this blog posting while an honest look back at 2015. I had a lot of successes
and some mistakes. Ok I have even had some flat out failures. I have learned
from failures. I have gotten up and searched for a new path/answer.
Things I have learned about myself:
1-I can easily become distracted from ultimate goals.
I don’t mean I quit I mean I allow myself to get so caught up in being busy
doing other things that I sometimes forget to take the steps toward my ultimate
goals. My distraction also comes from getting tunnel vision. For example, I
have this blog, its Facebook and Twitter page, I also have a Fan Page I run on
Facebook, My personal Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts, I am the
Children/Youth director at my church and its Facebook page, I have started my
own business, plus I am looking for part time work to help out, I take care of
roommate who can’t live alone and on top of this I am trying to still write my
book. I can get such tunnel vision for one of these things that I forget to
work on the others at the same time. It isn’t that I don’t think about them or
want to work on them I just get so involved in one that I lose track of time or
focus and forget about everything else. I haven’t done anything in this blog
since mid-December because of that very reason. I got very focused on things
for my church group and making Christmas great for the lady I care for I forgot
to blog. I haven’t even been able to write in my story for 6 weeks. I also can
get sucked into a TV program and lose track of time. I wish I had a DVR it
might help or make it worse.
I am still walking and following my FirstFitness
Nutrition plan but I forget to let people know about it. Not good because this
is my business. This is also a goal of mine. 2-I’m not able to get truly organized. I’m never have been organized. I have piles everywhere on my desk. I know where things are but it just looks messy.
3-I put things off till the last minute way too often.
If I think about it and make a list I tend to think it’s done or I have time to
finish the project and not realizing how close the date is approaching. So I
have a lot of rushing around closer to the date to finish everything. Or I have
the opposite problem. I try to plan ahead and every detail and assign people to
do their parts and never hear from them. Keep asking for updates and they never
reply and I think they aren’t doing their part. I plan too much till people get
mad so I back way off and then have the problem of putting things off. I need
to find a happy medium between these two.
Basically all of the above items seem to boil down to
one major problem in my life. TIME MANAGEMENT! I need to develop/learn this
skill. I need to use timers that remind to get off Facebook or move to the
group/thing I am working on. The first quarter of the year I am working on
developing/learning time management!
Yes I am still working on getting healthy and losing weight.
Yes I am still learning how to handle panic attacks. Yes I am still going to be
walking and exercising. I am still on the Journey of change. I’m still Breaking
Free! I’m just learning a new skill on this journey-Time Management!
I am looking forward
to this journey!
