“I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.”
― Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt
Today is Monday and I have a long work week ahead of me, lots of new and interesting projects not to mention a few meeting that are extra curricular activities as well. I have a few goals that I have made for me personally - work and other obligations aside- and so far I am behind. Oh bother. . .
Have you ever set goals and then failed to meet them?
How do you deal with such things?
I am starting to realize that as it turns out the more I try to specify my plans the worst things turn out. Funny how it works that way, but yes that is how things go. An example of over planning and failing to meet my own expectations is as follows: I wanted to wake up early walk the pups and then head to the post office before having to be in the office at 8am, did I wake up early ? Yes, Did I walk the pups? Yes , Did I get to the post office? Of course not; there is snow on the ground and I wanted to have some coffee before going into the office - where I would surely consume more coffee- so I didn't make it to the post office. Additionally on a random side note, I noticed that the letter 'E' on my laptop is half missing. How does only half the letter fall off? Well after noticing the missing piece I decided to pay a little more attention to how the strike the keys and low and behold I only use the upper right of the 'E' key, so naturally that portion would start to come off. No matter, it still works and that is all that really matters.
I hope you are all enjoying your coffee and getting ready for the week ahead.
Happy Monday.
