This journal is mostly public because most of it contains poetry, quotations, pictures, jokes, videos, and news (medical and otherwise). If you like what you see, you are welcome to drop by, anytime. I update frequently.
I grew up with a mother who pretty intensely felt that I should be cramming more deediness into my days. She was a major proponent of lists and schedules: her purse always bristled with sheets of her own. It was only decades later that I realized that she was assuaging her anxieties about getting things done by list-making much more than by following the methods she preached.
She also found me pretty irritating, and so I was seldom doing or getting done what she wanted, and she needed to fix me. For my own good, of course.
Later on, when I had some distance and was able to notice what worked for me, I understood that rigid schedules are not effective for me, and that both rest was part of productivity for me, and that just wandering around thinking dopily about how to do the whatever was often a much more effective method for me than flapping and sweating.
The efficient-use-of-time literature isn't a good fit for me.
Ah. Yes, I understand, thank you for explaining. *Hugs*
This book is very different, though. I will show you some excerpts, as time allows. It's actually one of the few time management books I'd ever read, and I'd say perhaps the best.

Terrified? Why? ;)
