What's on your Thursday Menu?

Good morning and happy Thursday!

I had to give myself a bit of an attitude adjustment yesterday, I have been complaining way too much about how busy I am, how I need a day for down time, the frequency of my days with 16 or 17 meetings but I haven't done anything about it. I've had a rule since I was a kid that I can complain about things 3 times and if I am not doing anything about it, I need to stop whining.

So I logged off at 4, skipped my workout and sat in the sun for an hour to read. Then I got off my butt, started making some changes to my schedule - like canceling my trip for next week, the customer who was meeting me rescheduled and I was still going for internal biz reasons but I delegated some of those and now I will only travel 2 Sundays in June for work and I have a full two weeks working from the local office/home. I also made a plan to get some meetings under control. Having a plan makes my attitude better (and does knowing I have some at home down time before July 4, lol).

qotd - I don't think I can name a single one

accountabilty - I added popcorn as a snack and skipped my workout, only 3187 steps and 8 active minutes. i will get in a row today though, maybe even a walk outside!

I have so much to learn from you. Great job on keeping an eye on yourself.

Good job rearranging things and sitting in the sun for a while. You find out that things take a much time to do as we allocate to them. It is an adjustment but giving yourself more time and relaxation usually ends up with everything that is really necessary still gets done.

I don't agree. The majority of my bandwidth is sucked up by business needs and deciding that I'm going to assign 15 or 30 minutes to setting up my 375 person operating budget for fy25 (for example) does not mean that I will get it done in that 15 to 30 minutes. It might be true for personal things, like putting off folding the laundry only to find that you can complete it in the 15 minutes you have available but it doesn't translate cleanly to work.

100%

It is true for things like laundry. With your work, you do need to set a reasonable amount of time for that. You are absolutely amazing with all that you do accomplish, both work and personal.

I love the rule of 3 and attitude adjustment.
Very glad you were able to change things around to have more down time at home.

Plan, Prepare, Succeed. Only way to do it. Glad you took the initiative.

That is awesome, Jen! Prioritize you!
