Enjoying a pretend beer on a real sunny day with my real dog on my real patio.

I’m experimenting with different colours for oracle stones but I can’t decide which I like best.

I like the contrast of the white but the muted brown and black has its appeal.

Do I end up practising the same things over and over again and only making marginal improvements?

It’s possible.

But rather than being hurt on myself about it, just gonna keep trying and adjusting, and seeing what happens.

This week I’m practising prioritization.

Because I’ve realized that I often fall into the trap of just working for however many hours I’ve got.

And that makes it really hard to know when I’m done or if I’ve done enough or even if I’ve been working on the right things.

So I am going to try this week to set a certain number of priorities each day and when those are done, those tasks are done. I’m gonna be done for the day.

I already feel resistance to this idea so that makes me wonder if it’s even more important than I realize.

Despite the fact that I seemed to have tasks popping up all over the place last week, I still managed to get a lot of relaxation into my days.

Clearly, I need more practice at this vacation thing, though.

I’m hoping that by getting clearer about my day-to-day tasks and choosing good times in which to do specific things, it will be easier for me to be clear about taking time off.

It’s a work in progress. ?
