Thriving on Thursday

I'm still working on building into the schedule set times to read and write "good" stuff. This particular blog is for the impulse-driven desire to write, but i'm finding that a little more discipline and determination with my other one is leading to more frequent, higher-quality posts and interactions. As I reflect on the wackiness of Wednesday just past, I'm so happy to feel a bit more "centered" today: that anxious edge is gone and while i still have much to accomplish, I feel more ready today to DO some of it. De-cluttering both physical AND mental space is essential to that end! Last week I gave pause to a memory from grade school and the satisfaction the structured activity time provided: Each Friday afternoon, our teachers would give us a few minutes to  reorganize our desks. I didn't realize then how important that really would be as an adult to honor that process on a regular basis at work! I am heretoforward declaring Fridays to be "fix-it, finish it and file it" day. That will enable me to delude myself into some semblance of recurring temporary closure to end the work week and begin the next. Thanks for stopping by. For a good read on effective ways to manage time, space, and information, check out Getting Things Done by David Allen. Every so often i need to review it and always find it helpful. ~pma
