How I did it: FG has not been well for quite a long time. She is worn out, frail and weary, yet strangely stubborn and independent as well.I have been trying to be more gentle with her and to go along with her foibles. If she becomes anxious about the large beehive in the first owl box, I will have the bees removed (by a beekeeper who merely relocates the bees and does not kill them).If she obsesses about a plant that has taken root in the gutter, that… Read how I did it…
How I did it: The business coach has the unbelievable temerity to practise what she preaches. She is going on maternity leave and will be away for about 6 months. This goal must, of necessity, be placed on hold. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I thought about Livyru and sent telepathic messages of hope and comfort and support. I sincerely hope that they were felt.hopeful wishes wishing hopes comfort and support supporting comfort Read how I did it…
I don’t like my job.
I don’t enjoy what I am doing.
All seems pointless.
I am not enjoying what I am doing. It is a thankless task, with elements of grind and grimness.
I do NOT enjoy admin. I do NOT like waiting for payment (6 months appears to be the norm.) I do NOT like working with consortium partners who do not deliver on time. I do NOT like feeling I cannot get the answers I need from unco-operative people in far off lands.
I might well decide to throw in the towel.
two weeks ever:
1. Integrate 2 email accounts (if I can find one of them first)
2. Backlog of emails – clear
3. Find out what tasks I am behind on and list them.
Deal with the stomach churning anxiety I feel re tasks tasks more tasks.
