Saturday Morning Shakedown

September 15, 2012  •  3 Comments

This is my day. Everyday. I start making breakfast until I realize that I CANNOT function or have my breakfast without coffee. I start making my morning cappuccino. I forget the burner is on and it gets way too hot but I throw on an egg and put the bread in the toaster. Both burn because I am so meticulous about this latte I forget about my breakfast. I get a burnt breakfast and an unequaled latte. 

I sit down at my computer with good intentions to edit a full shoot in one sitting. I find some music to get me going, log into facebook for easy preview uploading. One song leads me to think about another song which reminds me I have to tell my friend about this new song I found. I go to facebook, share my song. Start an hour long conversation which leads to a coffee date in an hour. Through this, I get inspired to decorate my whole house for fall. I come home and it's go time! But before I can decorate, I have to re-organize and clean EVERYTHING. So I clear all the cupboards, my whole closet, and filing cabinet. THEN, I realize I MUST get this shoot done. So I get back to editing. 

This is my life. Everyday! It literally just cracks me up the way the human mind works and the way we connect things to other things which leads to other things. I will say that I am easily inspired. I will also say I have a priority problem! Here's to a new season of focus and a breathe of fresh air.

 

***What do you do to keep focused on the task at hand? Seems like it'd be so simple, but my mind can't always grasp it! Share your wisdom!! I'd love to hear a little bit from you.

I always set a reward for getting something done. Like: You can only text so and so once this is done. It's pretty motivating haha

I have a picture frame with some pretty paper inside. I write my task list for each day in dry erase marker on the glass of the picture frame. All the things I need to do, people to call, business tasks, the nooks and crannies that need cleaning, and the endless list of things I need to buy. I go down the list, one by one, fulfilling each task and then triumphantly erasing it from the list. :) (Have I ever mentioned I love tasks lists purely because of the joy one feels when crossing something off?)

When I think of something I need to do while doing something else (aka: distraction!) I simply add it to the list in the correct area. It keeps me motivated, keeps me on task, and I know I won't forget anything important. :) Good luck! I totally would be doing the same thing you do... hope you find something that works for you!

Haha seems as if our brains function the same exact way! It's what I like to call an "artsy brain" or "artsy way of thinking" but you already know this ... And because we're women we want to get it all done at once. By the way listen to Ben Howard as you get things done today! Gosh I love you.
