Life is insane. I’m
running around like a hamster on a wheel, trying to keep up with everything
that needs to get done, all while feeling I have gotten nothing accomplished. I feel like I get no reprieve, no rest from
the various things that must get done in my life. I’m so busy trying to get on top of the
various backlogs that things that should be simple decisions, from what to-do
to tackle to what I’m having for dinner, turn me into a confused mess and
returning to bad habits.
I am still binge watching Mission: Impossible to quiet my
mind, and I had an epiphany: it took a
lot of planning to execute the complicated missions successfully. That planning allowed their minds to be calm
and rehearsed, no matter what complications were thrown at them. Yes, I know, fictional television series, but
it still took a lot of planning from script writers to set designers to
technical light and sound and camera crews to makeup stylists to film editors
to make each episode happen.
Planning is exactly what I am not doing. I need to figure out a way to plan my days
and weeks so that I am not wasting my limited energy and resources. I have no idea what will work, what will ease
my mind, but the process of finding that answer is just as important to my
quest as logging the miles or learning German.
So one night this week I am going to go out for a nice dinner, bring my
notebook with me, and see what I can do to make life a little more organized
and planned.
