Time to stop flying by the seat of my pants?


Thinking about what I wrote yesterday, I began to realize that a whole lot of the reason why I feel I am drifting through my life is that my old ways of managing my time just don't work very well.

Part of it is just being older. While I used to be able to keep multiple task lists more or less in my head and get most of them done, that just doesn't happen anymore. And I did that while living with two people who had to have very erratic schedules, so having much of a routine was never really possible or desirable.

But that's different now. One is retired and the other is only here three or four days of the week. So: still some chaos, but much more controlled.

The ever-evolving goals evolve again.

I need to learn how to work with routines, to figure out how to sort out priorities, and how to create and stick with schedules.

Definitely time to stop flying by the seat of my pants!
