Life Management 101
Sunday, September 30th, 2007I’ve come to a conclusion recently: there’s too many things going on in my life at the moment. It’s nice to be busy, but at the same time it means I’m always context switching. Instead of focusing on just 1 or 2 things I have my hands in dozens of projects. The end result seems to be that a lot is going on but nothing is really reaching completion. And sometimes it even means that by the time something gets completed the moment for opportunity to use/do it has passed. So I’ve resolved to whittle down the number of active projects to just one or two. That means I’m only reading 1 book at a time, finishing up a DVD, working on a side project, editing a batch of photos, reading a magazine, etc. Little stuff and big stuff alike, only 1 or 2 active things.
I’ve been doing this for a little while now and it seems to really work. Sure, not as many things are getting my attention, but there is a sense of things getting completed.
