Losing track of time

This has, so far, been a hectic week. I have been rushing to get one stage of a major project finsihed, which I have done, however I am not happy with it. This means that I am now unsure how to proceed with stage two. On top of all this I have had to deal with a lot of other little bits and pieces. So work has been very stressful and busy, this had led home to be tired and stressful. I have procrastinated too much when I get home and therefore done very little of what I need to do there.

So, a step back is needed today. I'll do a little GTD mind-sweep (or perhaps it will be a big one) get all my project and next actions lists up to date. Hopefully this will make a few things clear as to what I need to do and how I need to go forward with them. (Yes, I know I should be doing a weekly review anyway but I have let it slip and so my mind like water is very choppy at the moment).

Haven't forgotten the meme form the previous post's comment, I am thinking about that, well it is on my list - a very interesting one that.

Well then, how's Janaury going Darren?

Well it all depends on when you ask me. It has so far been a bit of an up and down time. Firstly I am getting a well-earned (I think so) rest from work/vocation/calling* that will see me not returning till 13th February. There is no way that this can be seen as a 'down'. However I had so many plans and hopes for this time and so far they haven't been realised.

Having said that the plans have been realised, what I have done is a big pile of positive things, things that I hadn't planned but which have been buzzing in and out of my consciousness for quite a while. So from that point of view another 'up'.

I certainly feel more organised than I have been and I have also managed to sort a few 'core' issues regarding my meager existence. As for whether this is what I should have been doing or not is something else. I suppose I am paying the price for not spending enough time in the not urgent but important quadrant, because so far January has involved a fair bit of firefighting in the urgent and important category.

Oh, and I also used some concrete yesterday to fill a couple of holes. (I am not the most enthusiastic d.i.yer on the planet.
