I have good ideas. Lots of them, in fact. I have so many good ideas that they all sort of rattle around, clamoring for my attention. There are so many cool things in the world and I want to do them all. And that's where the trouble starts. I rarely finish anything that I start, my house (much to my shame) is a semi-permanent wreck, and I constantly, reliably, forget things. This month I forgot to pay 3 bills. We had the money to pay them, I had the due dates written on my calendar, I just...you know...didn't pay them on time.
This blog is my attempt to get organized and stay committed. I want to actually do some of those cool things that the world has to offer. If any of you would like to follow along and join me on my journey of self-improvement, please do. (I may be the only one who ever reads this, but hey- I'm fine with that. I find myself to be excellent company.)
So here is my first step: Now that I have aired my dirty laundry and made my craziness public, I'd like to take a minute to list some things that I have done right. Hmm...there's got to be something...ooo! I know.
I finished a denim quilt for The Hubs's Christmas present in under a month! (It wasn't some cop-out tie quilt either. Yep, it was a real deal man quilt made from The Hubs's old work jeans and Chicago Bears flannel.)
I helped a friend.
I made a friend.
I made broccoli.
See? I have my redeeming qualities.
So to anyone following along, start by making a list of the things YOU have recently done right. Acknowledge your victories and, if you should feel so inclined, post them in the comments.

I'm a believer in REAL accomplishment...things that take time and effort and gives one some real satisfaction. As for cleaning and bills...pshh. What fulfillment does that provide?
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say that the fulfillment in cleaning and bill paying comes from the feeling of being on top of everything. The cleaning and bill paying aren't fulfilling in and of themselves, they are a means to an end.
ReplyDeleteI'm all about automatic bill pay- I think I'd have horrendous credit if I didn't use it... I always have the money to pay the bill, but it's hard to remember to pay it when things get stressful.
ReplyDeleteYes, I too love automatic bill pay and we have it for a lot of things, but not everything. When I have it set automatically for too many things I feel like I have too little control. Especially for things like my phone bill that have mistakes on them all the time!
