I'm tired, freshly scrubbed and rosy, ready to tuck myself in for the day, but my brain is still processing various trains of thought. For example, my Grandmother was a guest in my home last night while I was at work because "nary a one" of the approximate ten or twelve of my maternal aunts and uncles would keep her. Rather than sleeping in the guest bedchamber, she ended up in my bed. How 'bout those biscuits? Now, I must undo the little changes she made. Next on the list is the fact that I'm expecting to receive callers this afternoon. These guests have driven from the northern tip of Alabama, so rest assured I'm about to enter a segment which would baffle the twilight zone. I have four pies to bake and distribute and then I'm supposed to bake a quiche. Yes, a quiche is a relatively simple dish to make, but even so, finding the time to get it done is going to be nothing short of a miracle.
There's more that I'm supposed to do before I dedicate thirteen hours to work. My to-do list is a monster. I think I'm going to do the deed and shred the beast.
Yep. I'm resolved. Dr. Kloey advises that in order to achieve a goal, we must first recognize and clearly establish our desires. At that point, a plan of action must be written out (I would have used established, but it was already in use). A specified length of time must be assigned to the project. Last, but certainly not least, accountability needs to be created by telling someone of your intentions.
I want to shred my to-do list.
My plan of action:
1)I will wake up.
2)I will shower.
3)I will dress and perform various toiletries.
4)I will place my to-do list in my pocket.
5)I will drive to work.
6)I will enter my place of business.
7)I will walk to the shredding machine.
8)I will remove my to-do list from my pocket.
9)I will place my to-do list in the loading dock.
10)I will derive a sadistic pleasure as my to-do list shrieks in agony as the monstrously sharp teeth of the shredding machine rips easily through its tender flesh.
I will complete my task in two hours or less.
Sweet dreams.
