5064 Resolution

Saturday, March 12, 2016

Maybe this world is another planet's hell.

Wouldn't it be interesting if Trump supporters turn out to be the same folks who accused Obama of "dividing people"?

I need to get organized.  I think I have a bad case of internet addiction.  It's not unusual for me to spend the entire day online, reading articles, following links, looking stuff up, watching videos.  I get nothing else done.  

There are two classes of things I'm not getting done:
A.) Everyday household stuff like washing dishes, laundry, paying bills, vacuuming, sorting, filing, whatever, and 
B.) Things in furtherance of long-term goals, like getting out of the country house, rearranging things here so I can move furniture down, refiguring the budget so I don't need to depend on withdrawing principal now that I can (am forced to) use the IRAs, and so on.

I think the way to get moving is to commit to two from column A every day, and one or two (depending on complexity) from column B every week.

We'll see how long I can do that.  Having made the resolution on the drive home Thursday, I already failed yesterday.  

Sigh.

Gary is spending all day on the net too. Just in the last two days he's started doing usefulness things. Perhaps it's spring.

I have been in that place and I have tried exactly that method of moving forward. It worked...for awhile, anyway. Good luck!

Queen - you may be right about spring. I seem to have more energy.

Lisa - My main problem is that I get overwhelmed. I look around and don't know where to start, so I don't start. I need to remember that one step forward is one step forward.
