Interesting Day Today
I had a full day planned. Then I learned that the house should (not a distorted should, a real should) close this Thursday. So, work is getting hectic, I'm picking up new projects this week, and now I have to empty my house by Thursday. One more thing, my house was tented for termites this past weekend and the gas company will only give me a 4 hr window, so I'll need to miss work. First thoughts: I'll never get everything done; my week is ruined; I should have had more notice of the closing date. Look at those distortions. One thing I did was reference the prioritization scheme. That helped me sort out what's important and what's not. Then I challenged some of those thoughts and I realized that I'm not alone in this, because my wife will help. And then I scoped the effort and realized that I probably can get everything out of the house by Thursday. The new tasks at work are spooling up slowly, which helps. I took a power walk at lunch, which also helped. Finally, I got to work packing the remaining things at my house this evening. Starting on the task can really help defeat some of these thoughts.
