I've been feeling like life has just gotten too busy recently and I don't really like it!
This is really because of trying to juggle four things:
Somehow, there's never enough hours in the day to do ALL of these things as much as I feel I need or want to, and hardly any time to just add on number five which is...
FIVE: just chillaxing, which ATM would primarily involve just sitting by the pond listing to the frog chorus (strictly sans Paul McCartney).
So I've decided to just chillax and take a 'basics first' approach every day until whenever the mood takes me to get back to being productivity mode.
TBH my life is PRETTY SORTED so there's NO NEED for me to stress myself out by carrying on with my attempts to be super productive and keep on progressing, progressing, progressing in every single aspect of my life.
Moreover, I figure if I just focus on number one above, and start each day early and RIGHT by just doing ma basic chores, then move straight into NUMBER FIVE: CHILLAX, my general feeling for the day should then guide me into whatever I need to do from 2-4.
I'll probably end up being more productive than I have been launching into one of 2-4 first thing in the morning, begrudging choring out the basic life chores in the early evening and then not chillaxing at all!
Chillaxing with the Frogs!
I figure 1-6 should take me about 2 - 3 hours. So if I get up at 6.00 a.m. I can still be meditating by 8.30 at the latest.
I've just (literally just now) evolved this into 'chillaxing/ meditating - just sitting there for a while.
This is something I used to be most excellent at, but I've slackened of late, but now it's time to get back into it!
This is really just about pausing. If I choose to pause for the whole day, FINE!
If I choose to carry on with any of 2-4 from the first list above, ALSO FINE!
What I anticipate happening is that most of the time I'll just be planning my day with this time, then cracking on from 9.00 a.m. onwards!
Then it's either or...
Or a combination
Historically I am VERY slack with this, but here goes:
Now that's all clear in my brain-thing, it's really just a matter of putting this all into practice.
Alternatively I might ignore these lists like usual and then do another list or two or three which are broadly similar but with a couple of things in a different order in a couple of months!
