Slow But Sure

So my experiment (a weekly to do list) has been going pretty good.  I started off by not demanding too much of myself each week.  But now it's time to step it up by adding more things to do each week.  So I'm moving forward to accomplish my personal goals.  Especially for that career change that I want.  Wish me luck.

I Need a ReVamp of my ReVamp

Why?  Why do I feel I don't have any time to get things done?  Maybe it's because I waste so much time online.  I only work part time so my time is not spent working at my job, and yet I feel like I don't have enough time to do anything.  It's got to be the time I spend online.

I have so much to learn to become a Professional Genealogist and I really don't think I can accomplish this in the 5 year goal I set for myself.  It feels like right now that it could take me 10 years.  And when I think that it could take 10 years, I think of how old I'll be and wondering if I can change careers while approaching 60.  I just don't know.  And I also think that I can't stay in my present career for that much longer.

I guess I need to stop wasting time online (at least on Facebook & Pinterest) and spending it online learning Genealogy.  Really focus on what I want to do and what I want to become.

An Experiment

I've never been very good at maintaining any kind of set schedule.  So I've decided to try a little experiment.  Instead of setting up a time schedule to get whatever it is that I want to get done, I'm going to just make a To Do List for the week and check the items off as I complete them.  I figure I'll give it a month and see how it works for me.  Then maybe I'll get some things done that I've been putting off.

It's worth a shot anyway.

I've Been Busy....Procrastinating

It's been a while.   What is the cure for procrastination?  Anyone?  There are things I want to accomplish and yet it seems like I do nothing but waste time.

Truthfully, that isn't completely true.  But the progress seems slower than a snails pace, and I don't  like it.

Don't get me wrong I could utilize my time better I'm sure and I do waste a great deal of it.

When I was young I would set goals.  I should give that a try instead of trying to keep it all in my head on what to do next, etc...

Wish me luck.  Until next time.

Getting a Move On...Finding Inspiration

My beautiful niece Victoria has started her own business helping other people get organized.  This is something she is passionate about and I find it inspiring to get a move on.

As you can see it has been a while since I've posted.  Lots of stuff going on.  But it's time I stop this stuff from getting in the way of my ReVamp.

So, although this post will be brief, you'll be seeing more from me soon.

Out of my Mind Insane Craziness

In searching for a specific item, that I believed that I still had and which I have yet to find, I've made a horrible realization.  I have mentioned before that I am a bit of a packrat, well I've realized that I have way way too much JUNK.

I've always held onto things thinking that someday it will be useful, or as mementos.  It is a large burden that I know now needs to be dealt with.  The one thing that I've decided on how to weed all this stuff out is that in going through the things I believe are mementos that if I look at it and it doesn't evoke any memory of anything that it is time to get rid of it.  I haven't figured out any other methods to use in getting rid of anything else, but I'm sure I'll think of something or I'd love some suggestions.

Believe

Believing in the possibility ... there is no other choice.  If you can see it and believe it, it's a lot easier to achieve it.

Believe Believe Believe.  I'm having to tell myself this over and over.  It's easy to feel discouraged when the progress I'm making is just baby steps.  Then I have to remind myself that these things are all part of a long-term goal and that baby steps are just fine.

In the past this is the point where I would have given up telling myself that I am a failure and that I always fail at everything.  Well not this time.  I must BELIEVE and accept progressing at this time in baby steps and also that it won't always be just in baby steps.

There is no other choice for me.  My life must change and I'm excited about the goals that I've set.
