If you have read my last few posts, you know that I’m taking a break from the blog to focus on finishing my first book: 10 Steps To A Badass To Do List. Happy to say I’m more than half way through an still hold out hope that I will finish by the end of the summer. But I would like to try to post some quick tidbits on here more often.
I thought it would be helpful to share what’s going on with my day today. My youngest is at camp for another 24 hours, my oldest is at a friend’s house all day, and my wife is working a wedding. I’m got about 5 1/2 hours all to myself at this present moment. I also have much to do. Yet, there isn’t anything that is “ride or die” at this moment. That gives me a certain amount of anxiety about where to start.
The answer is: ANYWHERE! Just work my list and make sure I am doing something productive and that I do get the biggest priorities done at some point today. But it doesn’t matter if I deal with the kids pill containers, my inbox, the weekly food prep, my workout, editing my book, or our semi-flooded basement first. The only mistake is to do nothing or engage in avoidance.
And, I decided to type this up and share when I realized that I was coaching myself by saying the phrase in bold to myself. Hopefully you can learn to do the same in the same situation. Now I’m off to crush my list… in no particular order!
