I’m in a moment where I’m not stressed out, and most things are going well. I’m learning from last semester, handing things in mostly on time, and getting HD’s. My health could be better but I’m eating well and walking about everyday. I also have free time.
This is when I start forming ideas in my head. A whole lot of ‘what ifs’. Occasionally I lose focus, forget and slack on the goals I was already working on. I really don’t want to do that, but right now there are so many things I feel could do. I decide on a lot of things, plan to do more than I can realistically handle, then fail to do any of it. Then I get lazy from a lack of results or change, and I miss on opportunities that come along because I’m not prepared or I’m lacking self esteem from failure. All the downsides of being a dreamer.
So this time I’ll make a schedule. Plan first with what I’m already working on and what I’ve been able to do in the past. Put my list of priorities on the side where I can see them clearly. Then look at the new things I want to do. Remove any ridiculous ones that deep inside I know won’t happen. Ones that I know I don’t truly want, for the time being atleast. With what’s left, see how any of them correlate, and put to the top of the list whatever can work well with current priorities. Lastly, pick one. Then with the leftovers, let them be backups, or things to do afterwards, if I have extra extra time.
