Find a balance between the things I want to do and the things I need to do

On this sunny spring day, I’m feeling the pull of playing, of going outside and smelling the lilacs or wandering around or stopping in on a friend. Yet I have work to do – deadlines for articles and chores that should be tackled.

So I’ve made a deal with myself: I will knock off early today, and then put in an extra hour or so sometime over the weekend on the pieces that are due early next week.

my life is chaotic..

then again who’s isn’t???

so what i’ve come to believe abou my structure and life in general: when life seems to be getting too stresss full and you are becoming over whelmed by the little things… back down and teach yourself how to merly breathe again… find your inner peace and just remind your self that your no one is a perfect person and expectations arn’t always needed to be met…so what i guess im trying to get across is i already have a balance of the things i want to do and the things i need to do… for me it’s just a way of life… i often go through the days feeling like im not doing what i SHOULD be doing although i must really being doing what i believe is important other wise i wouldn’t be doing it.. so life changes.. everyone’s different.. and i love it!

Like I’ve said before, often the things you need to do are also the things you want to do. Kill two birds with one stone, or even three! I needed to have a job, but I also needed to study for school…I did exactly that. I worked in the library and rarely did any actual work, and my boss said it was fine if I studied. Which helped me get straight A’s last semester.

And another things coming up, I want to fly to Europe but it’s pretty expensive. If work for the company, promoting their business, and book a certain amount of people per month I get a discounted flight cost up to flying for free.

I think this week I have been doing it ok. Let’s go reviewing it:

Things I need to do:

Washing clothes and ironing

Cleaning the house

Cooking

Buying food

Studying

Attend the meeting

find a job

Things I want to do:

Wasting time

Do exercise

Visit 43things all days (yeah I like it!)

Watch TV

Eat digestives and chocolate (I think I can eat whatever I want but I’m getting fat so perhaps I should stop eating this things)

Sleeping one or two more hours in the morning

But going late to bed (so I haven’t sleeped more…)

GO SHOPPING (I really need go shopping…)

Go dancing (but I do not have friends so…)

Go to anywhere (stop going and returning to university

Well that was… and now I don’t know if I have done it well or not.

doing better at this…my house is clean and i’ve been picking it up everyday, i’m trying to figure out what i have left to measure my success on this…i suppose through the month of may i’ll see how i hold up on taking care of the things that need to get done and pay closer attn to how much tv i watch.

Going quite well so far today. Done more of the “must” that I expected. This should relieve some stress and leave me free to catch up on fun stuff through the week.

Phew!

OK, here’s my reminder of what I HAVE TO do within the next week. After that I can do much more of what I WANT.

Washing up and washing, tidy
Mail off my students coursework and estimates.
Fill out pay claims
Banking/admin things
Hand in my completed Counselling essay
Plan my students final lesson and then revision support
Mail off any Ebay/Amazon items

I think the most part of the time only do the things I WANT to do… even I do things I need to do, they are not sufficient at all.

I’m not going to get any younger.

I have realized if I take care of the things I have to then I can do the things I want to.

Eventually everything falls into place. Besides, everything happens for a reason.
