As I write this, it is Sunday night at 10:04.

I’m kind of tired but I think I did a good job of moving from task to relaxation and back to my tasks this weekend.

And, because I framed it as a project, I managed to finally start my new fitness routine.

Now to see if framing other stuff as projects will help me make progress in other areas as well.

Cross your fingers for me!

After a couple of jumbled-feeling weeks, I am determined to spend this weekend balancing relaxation and work organization.

Every time I go to do this I have to fight the inclination to accuse myself of being addicted to productivity and/or having slacked off so much that I am *forced* to work on the weekend.

Neither of those are true.

So I am trying to remind myself that I have all kinds of time during the week and on the weekend when I can either work or relax or just do whatever I want and I can allocate my time however I choose.

I have to tell you that while I like being the boss of me, the seconding guess is exhausting!

I struggle with dividing projects into action items. I always want to dive in and try to do it all at once.

That’s not possible of course but it doesn’t stop me from trying.

Yesterday, though, I tried working through a project plan using a template in Todoist and it felt really clear. Not easy, but clear.

And now I am tempted to make everything a templates project.

I wonder if that would work?

I capitalized the W in work not because of title conventions but because I get all kinds of work done but I am not getting enough Work done.

I’m not digging into the kind of brain-engaging, satisfying work that is most important to me often enough and I want to change that.

I know part of the reason is that it is difficult to marshal the energy for that type of work. The fact that it requires me to keep track of different sets of information is also a factor. And that kind of work takes more time than random tasks do – thinking time and writing time and revising time.

And it’s hard to know where to start to give myself time and space to get to that work.

But, as I tell my coaching clients, and as I try to tell myself, if I don’t know where to start then I can start anywhere.

So I’m going to start by making a list things I want to write about and see if that helps me move forward.

I accidentally clicked on the wrong thing on a drop down menu and posted a random thought about (clothed) art modelling to a very public blog.

I’m not going to repost it here because that feels weird.

Anyway, the other thing I did yesterday was discover that the behind-the-fence flower I can see on my daily walk has sent up green shoots.
