In_Bloom Oh those, I've got those
Something about jumping into chaos and transforming it feels like a high
And deconstructing it all again?
Well that's kind of like dessert

Ouroboros calendar with the each day of now/the next month. Write down each task's deadline. Break down each step that needs to be done for each task. Plot on the calendar what steps you will do each day. Give yourself specific amounts of time for each task. Be generous and realistic with the amount of time. Cross things off when you are done. Give a reward of something for yourself at the end of each day. Balance your time- stretch between tasks, go for a walk, sleep and eat as well as you can. Turn off the cell phone/put away anything likely to be distracting.

Throw away all garbage. Then put away all clothes. Then books. Make your bed. Clear off your desk. Etc.

ergo If you play some marching music
the seconds will all line up .
Then you can play a minuet and
shake the daze off of the days.
Months are gonna want to manage everything,
so give them batons, and they can keep the seconds marching by. The best you can do with those irascible years is to try and keep them from ganging up on you, they"re much easier if you can just live one at a time.

falling_alone They used to tell us in school that the habits we kept, the all-nighters would never happen in the corporate world... Independent contracting sucks, my habits never broke. I am not a machine, tired... Sleep deprived, but I still have a dead line in eight hours 110223

re_alisma when the time is right, i pretty much over-organize, intellectually, everything. i have the rudimentary outlines of quite a few stories planned out. depending on what i have signed up for, this might have been a bad habit to get into, as it short-changes more than it brings new meaning when that meaning is never quite reached. but there's still hope because maybe it will be reached, since i still have nothing too substantial going on.

i'm getting better at revisiting the over- and prematurely organized material. besides that mercury pisces makes just about everything seem amenable to use, and that goes double for what has been the most carefully thought over, which goes back to the notes from many years ago that haven't been tossed. it's like a big flood of stuff i still have to get to.... reorganization is in order again. it's weird how i totally forget about things for pretty much two-thirds of the season.
