Anything but this...

Is it only me or do you also feel like this at times? Always wanting to do anything but what you are doing? Ordinarily, I would not come to the blog, because I have nothing compelling to post or share.

But here I am - due in 10 odd minutes to go and pick up the kids from school and end my peaceful-so-far Wednesday, am in the middle of a not-so-interesting deadline, staring at my laundry pile from far, thankful that rajma is a favourite meal and can stand in as a repeat, trying to solve this word puzzle for a city without success - NECSMARTHE (help appreciated), etc.

If yes, then I know I am not alone and sometimes it helps. If you are the focussed types, tell me how you prioritize your tasks, stuff you love, stuff you hate, stuff that needs to be done, time for yourself, etc. So that at the end of the day, it's all in a day's work. And you sleep content.

    I always keep one hour in the morning for myself...spend it reading paper, internet and tea:).

    Thanks Renuji! Somehow with the internet the hour seems like a minute!

      Thanks ZM, you are a good friend ;) I am in awe of all those focussed people, am meeting one over the weekend and she doesn't even want me to get the dessert!! I'd have delegated the starters too:)

    Thanks, MWaD, I'd got that. Some days have to be written off, and look, it's weekend already!

    If you ever find an answer to your question (how to prioritize etc.), I'll be grateful if you enlighten me as well !

      ha ha, looks like it's never going to happen for me. Have such a long to-do list which I've abandoned for a book!

The slow thawing

I realise I am inconsistent in lots of stuff and instead of my usual defensive spiel,  here is a quiet acceptance of that. Guilty of that and many more things....but not being disciplined tops the list. It shows how I take care of myself, how I keep order at home, how I generally mange myself and my world. How easy it is for me to not keep up to anything consistently....Its embarassing, its seen in the constant self-talk I have with myself. It shows up in stuff pending over the week and taking over weekend, it shows in the amount of dirt that came out of cleaning under the dish-washer, just one of those things which I had been forever planning to do; it shows in how I finally managed to paint my toe-nails after one year - sometimes there was no nailpolish remover; or nail polish itself; other times it was something I remembered just before bedtime or just when stepping out, hence no time to dry itself; sometimes I did remember but pushed it away for a bit and then forgot because so...

May 2013 - The Elusive One

Image
Think back to a month in your life. Do you remember any month or period specifically from the sweeping past or present? Maybe the month before the board exams, last month in the hostel eagerly awaiting to get back home, the month before you were getting hitched that was crammed with frantic shopping and plans on the side to run-away solo or when you were expecting your first baby, waiting for the moment and savoring the peace as you balance one of the last books you will read in peace on your tummy.. I seem to have always had conflicting emotions in every situation, constant yin-yang and the entire range in between. As a part of this group  celebrating our first anniversary on June 2, 2013, we were given a small challenge. Totally voluntary, I must add. The theme being 'The Elusive One'. One could choose to do something new, make a small change in your lifestyle, person..something you've been putting off for too long. You get the drift, move out of your comfort zones and ...

New Year Resolutions - Blogathon 2014 Post 1

Hello all! This is the first in the series of posts for the month of January, Blogathon initiative by Dreamy Mommy here . Today's prompt is New Year Resolutions. In fact, in my hastily scribbled end-of-year post I did touch briefly on this. In the last few years, I like to make resolutions or declarations, whichever, in writing. This is because in the course of steering one'e life through uncharted waters and all that, it is easy to land up someplace you simply did not intend going. My main compass-points for this year are - 1. Take one day at a time - each day is important, value it. 2. Move it, move it - So get moving in some way - a walk, a jog, yoga, dance... 3. Reflect before you speak and/or write. 4. Take responsibility for yourself and what you want to do, easy just does not do it. 5. Be thankful, be grateful, be positive and open-minded. Appreciate differences. 6. Put everything down and listen to my kids when they are talking - even if they are repeating ...
