I was having one of those days where I invoke the annual usage of my daily planner in order to be an adult or something. My charts and graphs were, as usual, making me feel no better about my management of time or my future as a whole. I finally did something that felt productive; I drew a picture of my hand. Rather than making it into a turkey or something to do with Lord of the Rings (both legitimate temptations I faced especially considering the recent passing of Thanksgiving and the approaching release of the Hobbit), I decided to narrow down all my frantic attempts at adulthood into five priorities. Five things that I want to be, or be defined by, or do. These things should be the things that govern my time as well as my fiscal (money) decisions. Why do I always try to organize my life into a play-by-play composed of 30 minute increments that say things like "brush teeth" then never stick to it. This is much better for my personality; five general guidelines, which of course encompass other small goals, that when pursued negate any wasted time. This will mean that instead of worrying about the exact time I end my bike ride and start studying I can view both as productive things. It will also help me not to view certain responsibilities as "what I'm doing today" but rather as necessary things in my day spent pursuing my hand. I'm keeping it in my wallet and plan on consulting it often. Maybe this will inspire my reader(s?) to make a more feasible new years resolution this year.
I love you.
