Hi,

 

thanks for your remarks.

Seeing other people “making it” doesn’t bother me that much, and frankly those that actually “make it” are those who have the skills (hacks don’t last)

I perfectly know how you feel about time. I experienced the same (although in a less dramatic fashion) at work. Checking completed tasks off the list for 4 hours and then realize I’ve not being googling or surfing every other minute and that it’s only lunch time.

Unfortunately the amount of work is sometimes so huge,  I could be still checking things off the list at 5 o’clock and still not be done.

On the other hand, and what I’m the proudest of, I’ve found myself marking things as DONE in my personal “to-do” list, things that were like there since forever. And I did them bit by bit.

Even if those should be the things I should be more eager to do, it’s very easy for me to procrastinate because of othere “priorities”.

Of course my job is a priority (no one wants to get fired) but I cannot use that as an excuse for everything.

Rick’s advice to break big goals down to single achievable tasks is a good one (a thecnique I was told, was also used by Julius Caesar, who used to take on big problems by “deconstructing” them in to smaller ones to be tackled one by one)

I’m still trying to find a way to better manage the repeated chores like cooking, ironing, loading the washing machine normally.

I’ve noticed that now I can enter some sort of “get-things-done-craze” which makes me a bit intense, while my objective is to finally be able to just go along with it, without either loosing time or becoming impatient.
