Looking over my old notes

The other day, I was looking for some old information and found myself looking though an old notebook. It was interesting to see what I was working on and thinking about 10 years ago. Reading about things I thought I knew or understood. In some cases, I have taken foggy thoughts and made them solid. In other cases, it has changed my opinion about things I one time thought of as facts. This is one of the gifts of journaling. I have never journaled in the diary sense. I have collected information that interested me, poems that touched me, photos of art that spoke to me and then notes about the artist or culture that the piece came from. I have recorded kitchen, garden and other experiments over the years tweaking things until I liked the results. These notebooks make a record of my journey in my hearthcraft. Keep notes! Even mistakes are valuable at some point.

Ich lerne Deutsch! (I am learning German)

One of the ways I started my journey of Life Long Learner, a couple of years ago was to being learning the German language. I picked German because that is part of my family history and I wanted to reconnect with that. Someday, when Meghan is all grown up, I want to take a riverboat cruise on the Rhine. The only reason learning German was a good fit is that learning a language is something that you can spend just 10 minutes a day on and still make progress. It is fun and I can’t explain the thrill the first time I read a German newspaper and understood some of it. It was amazing.

Ich lerne Deutsch! Wie ist es mit Ihnen?

My Relationship with Food Continues

Food has not always been my friend. I was taught as a kid to worry about food. Healthy foods would be outlawed for a season and then allowed. When they were allowed even my parents would binge on the item and then in guilt they would outlaw it. I took this pattern on in my adult life for many years and now and working to change my thinking. Now, if I say no to a food, I truly don’t want it. If I want it but think it is a bad choice, I will either subsitute something else that sounds equally good but is a little better for me health wise or I will just go for it. I do try and limit the amount of it. Maybe split that dessert with someone else, or save half of it for later.

That is pretty much my way of dealing with food overall. I try to lessen the amount of things that are not that good for me. I am not vegetarian much less vegan, but I do make sure that I eat twice as much fruit and veg as other foods during the day. And I limit the amount of calcium that comes from dairy, looking for other sources.

Now I am trying to work on my relationship with candy. I have the same binge withhold thing with candy. I am trying to eat dates when I first want candy and then if I still want candy, start with a tablespoon and go forward with that.

Wish me luck…

List Addiction

Okay, so I am a little list crazy. I love lists. They help the random thoughts that wander into my head throughout the day find a home. It started with my father, who liked to ask us to organize our thoughts with lists. When I started working from home it became necessary. One any given day I have about x hats I wear, like most Moms. I am teacher / Learning Coach, Chief Cook, Web Designer, Artist, Shop Manager, Writer, Gardener, Cat Slave, Social Media Manager, and House task scheduler all in one day, every day. In order to make that work, when I sit down to work on something, I choose one of the hats and then look at that hat’s list and do what’s next. Otherwise I would spend my whole day trying to figure out what I needed to do. At first I tried to pick one hat for each day, but that doesn’t work for me. I’d say, on Monday I will write and then I’d spend Monday staring at a blank page in Scrivener. Then on Tuesday, I’d plan to work on the Shop inventory all day only to find that everyone else in the family needed my attention and I got nothing done all day. This made me feel by Friday, that nothing had gotten done.

Now, this is how my day works. An hour of email and social media, then 30 minutes of Hearth keeping (making my house work). Then I look at my main hats and create a list (yes another one) of the ones I plan to focus on today. Then off I go. If I get stuck on one I move on and try to make progress on the next. I can always circle back later in the day. So for today as an example.

Task 1 - Writing - get one blog entry added to the queue. (that is this entry) Task 2 - Learning Coach - help Meghan finish her math project Task 3 - Web Designer - Finish adding all the text into HospitalityHandyman.com ‘s new website. Task 4 - Gardener - Plant Radishes Task 5 - Shop Manager - Add the Embroidery by Product products to the new shop at LHDesignstreatyourself.com Task 6 - Writing - Finish my article for The Cartomancer Magizine.

I may not get each item done, but if not they move on to tomorrows top of the list.

Each of the hats has at least one list associated with them. For example Writing has three lists: Future Blogs, Articles due, Outline for my book.

If you can harness the power of lists, you can get more done.
