Hi Folks,

As productive as the weekend was, today was the opposite. Ever just sort of lose an entire day and wonder where it went? That was today for me. Here it is almost 10PM and I've barely gotten anything done and can't really figure out what I did all day aside from a few errands. That's often how my days were in the corporate business world. I am now over 9 years removed from working for someone other than myself, but when I think back to the 18 years (started work when I was 15!) I did work at companies, I can barely remember what took place on an average day. I think that's because it was mostly time wasted. Going through motions.. following the well worn path.. doing monotanous and repetitive tasks. Ack. It's rare for me to have a day like that with JPF. That's why it sticks out so much (like today) when not a lot gets done. Anyone else relate?

I can relate. I went from an office job to a virtual job in January.
In the office I knew I wasnt doing that much actual work - but I was physically there. Now when I look back at my day I know there was several hours of work in there somewhere but it seems like all I did was run errands, play music and watch TV.
I can look back at weeks where I think I did nothing and my co workers ask me how I got so much done so fast.
I discovered time goes slower if I think of it in blocks. If I start a movie and have it play in the background I can get a bunch of stuff done in the 2 hours till it ends, but if I just work in silence or with the radio it can take 8 hours to do the same ammount of stuff.
I still dont know where march and april went - I think I missed em completely

I can relate, Brian... I felt that way yesterday too. Of course, part of my problem may have been that I was a little more tired than usual... I got back Sunday night from Nashville, Pineyfest.. Had a great time, BTW. But these days I have so much to do, so much that I need to do...with the music part, it annoys me when I let a day slip by. I don't know; maybe on these days, when they happen, they are telling us we need to relax or daydream or sit and think and not react..ha.. who knows. All I know is...the months seem to be going by faster and faster. I am a summer person and look so forward to April and May getting here and dread October getting here....and here it is August already. I'm like, Where DID May go to? Here's to a good Tuesday with lots accomplished! I think I will go out today and shop for that new guitar I've been wanting to get!

Well.. I stayed up until 6:30am, but in the end I got a lot done. It just didn't start until 10PM! = ) Of course now I have to try and switch back to a day schedule as Thursday is the big "State Fair Miniature Donkey Competition" that we participate in every year. More about that on the next few blogs.

Sometimes it's nice not to get much done. Bet you were enjoying moment by moment anyway, which was enough being done at the time, even though much of those memories are buried. Maybe it was day dreaming day,,,,"what a day for" that huh?

I measure each day by breaths. If I can only remember having them,,,,,,that's plenty done!
