Scenario: Did not tally to-do list. Left as a pile of papers and files on the floor, a psychologically blurred boundaries of ill-defined stuff.
Consequences:
1) Did not bring 2 reports. One needed to be handed in today. One needed to be worked on today.
2) Was stressed by nagging feeling at the back of my head, subtly nudging me of what I need to get worked on, even though they were re-written down. Did not feel settled. At all.
3) Had to rush home to scan the first report to email and work on the 2nd report.
4) Had re-arrange the dinner outing with Yishu, disrupting the nice dinner plans we could have had in Holland V.
5) Could not blog for 12/12
Lessons:
1) The to-do list should be complete. Of all the commitments you agreed to.
2) Reviewing the to-do list to see if anything is missing.
3) Never leave things as a pile of stuff. Action on them. Have everything where they should be, on lists, then reviewed periodically.
4) To flow, to still make best use of what is given; Finished 1.5 other reports. Had good clinic sessions. Had good lunch with a long lost friend. Still met Yishu, with a repair of meeting near her place, at a later time, and staying out later to enjoy the time we had.
5) Learning that, serendipitously, the themes of my posts and partner-in-crime, Melinda, seem to always go the same way.
A zeitgeist you might say. Of taking missteps, and finding our way back on track.
