If you start with what's important
In your hour, your day or your week
And only move on to the rest when the important stuff is done
You will take back control of your life
My important ...
A hot drink once I'm awake enough to drink it
With minimal chatter
Except with dogs
Then
And only then will my day begin.

Well said (but how do I stop feeling guilty about not doing *stuff* that I used to do before I retired). I have loads of projects lined up but most of the time I think I can do that tomorrow.😆
ReplyDeleteI used to have lots of stuff waiting. Craft supplies to make cards, fabric to make various things, bits and pieces to put together for ideas I had had, hundreds of books waiting to be read ... I sold them as they were and the pressure instantly lifted.
DeleteThat was my way, you'll find yours when the time is right or when you want it enough.
That is exactly me. I think before retiring I fantasised about creating lots of fabulous cards..scrapbooking..clothes etc. Have got every gadget for same and have actually enjoyed making cards etc for a long time but the stash of materials and patterns I have collected is just sitting there and you are right...perhaps I don’t want it enough. We are moving house and will now have to do a massive declutter. The amount of books (cookery) is frightening and I usually look online for recipe ideas anyway. I am definitely going to streamline everything and be decisive because I know the pressure will lift and I will be able to stop thinking about all money I have wasted buying stuff that I am not using.
DeleteTrying to get where you are XXX
ReplyDeleteGradually trying to simplify things :)
ReplyDeleteMeant to say I'm gradually trying to simplify things. You're doing a fab job already! :)
DeleteToo true.
ReplyDeleteTwo cups of tea, peace and quiet and I'm set up for the day.
ReplyDeleteI need at least one cup of coffee and quiet time before I am human and can talk to anyone without biting their head off. Then it is out for a walk, or a walk on the treadmill. Only then am I fit to be around other humans.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Oh gosh yes ... exactly that. Only the dogs are safe near me first thing in the morning :-)
