Time

I have forgotten to grab the USB that has my values on it; so until this evening (perhaps). I have found this process somewhat cathartic, but I often find the beginning is the easiest. Getting started always feels good; having the rigour to maintain is another issue. Developing discipline, as I think that is what I am doing, is a long slow process of boring holes in hard wood. However, it is my intent that I will make a change for the better and I will have those values posted by tonight.
I have decided that while I work each week at my stewardship, each month I will focus on one value and attempt to live it. So this is my task:

I will spend time each week focussing on managing my time, resources and relationships. Each month I will focus on 1 value and attempt to live it to my best ability and record the results.

What I have done today is I have gotten my dairy ready to plan. I will look at the term in advance and work out my meetings. I will spend time this week learning how to synchronize my phone and computer so I can keep appointments and special dates on hand. This will require me to learn how to use my phone. In all honesty I have never been a techno head and using office Word is an achievement in itself. Lame!
I have a list of my tasks and responsibilities and outlined what I must achieve each week to be ‘on top of things’ for school at least. The issue will be dealing with the ‘unexpected’ tasks that formation and relationships will throw at me. The ability to ever vigilantly say ‘NO’ to those things which sound so good will be tough. Today it is imperative that I get in my planning for school to the head of studies, or she may just eat my head which will hinder my attempts to improve my quality of life.
Tomorrow I will look at my finances, oh joy. I so look forward to examining my finances I suspect in much the same way that a horse looks forward to seeing the doctor after breaking its leg. Never mind, it must be done and I will throw myself with full gusto into the headlights of my destiny.
