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.

Can You Take on Too Much?

In my last post I discussed multi-tasking, but is it possible to be doing too many things at once?

I've been working on the To Do List for my 5 Year Plan, my cleaning and organizational goals, the novel I'm writing and thinking about (not yet doing) my weight loss goals.  I am also reading my genealogy books and magazines as well.  Am I trying to work on too many things at one time? 

Am I going to burn out trying to do it all?  Or will I feel motivated with the progress I'm making towards the ultimate goal - A total ReVamp of my life?

To Multi-task or not

In working on my To Do List for my 5 Year Plan I'm still feeling frustrated that I'm not further along in completing my goals.  When I multi-task my progress goes very slow, or so it seems to me, because I'm only working on multiple goals and I'm not able to check it off my list.

I guess it's all in the way you look at things.  I'm still making progress either way.  So I guess I need to decide what is more satisfying, to multi-task where I make progress on several things at a time or to concentrate on one thing until it is completed.

It seems logical to me to multi-task because my 5 Year Plan deals with so many different aspects of my life but I have always been more of a focus on one thing type of person.  But this ReVamp is about change.  Hmmm?

Oh the Dilemma

The pace at which I am achieving my goals is slow which is frustrating.  I have to remind myself that it doesn't matter how fast I can accomplish or complete something and that the most important thing is that I am making forward progress.  But I am one of those people that when I want something I want it NOW!  At times this makes me feel discouraged.  Something that I have been working on in changing my mindset and the feeling of discouragement doesn't last as long as it used to.

So to the dilemma.  I really really want to be more organized and I feel it is critical in the long run to achieve my goals.  But, and this is a big BUT, I have always been a bit of a packrat.  Actually, sometimes extremely so.  So the question would be, can a packrat still be a packrat and be organized?
