Day 3 - I Am Not Superwoman

The whole idea of this challenge is to assess my daily activities, and improve on scheduling and completing things that need to be done through the course of the day. I needed to find out what is contributing to this "slump" I'm in, and how to begin repairing the damage. I'm actually discovering things that I already knew. This inability to organize and plan, has become the reason that tasks are being partially completed. Boy, did I over do it today? I'm not sure where all this energy came from, but I clearly did too much. I'm not going to beat myself up over this one, but all things need to be taken in proportion. I'm learning...and I am a work in progress.

I made a stop by my favorite Sam's Club for a few minutes, then decided, I felt like walking. I didn't know I'd ultimately walk 6 miles. I was feeling real good after the walk, so I got this "birdbrained" idea to cut my grass. I did that. My neighbor had to run an errand, and asked me to keep an eye out on his property that he was working on, in the front yard. And so, I did that. (My problem with that was...I had to be at work in less than 6 hours, and I hadn't made it to sleep yet)!

So, my disappointment lies in the fact that I failed to plan. In evaluating my actions for the day, I discovered that I did just what I've been complaining against. Why would I run all day, to the point where my rest comes last. Get it together girl! For future reference, I must: 1. Assess the duties that NEED to be completed for the day, 2. Plan the necessary time to complete tasks, 3. Make sure proper rest is achieved, and 4.Don't take on assignments that will prevent #1-3. Work on saying "No", or "This is really not going to work for me today". It's OK really. Most things can wait. My journey to wellness, is NOT a long road ahead. It is up to me to ensure my success. I mean, what was I thinking...I ain't no superwoman.
