Things languish incomplete. Having a finite end point helps, the S in SMART goals. And for the most part I do. Carving big projects into sequential steps may require thinking skills that I lack. And then timing the sequential activities so that each has an end point often seems elusive.
Converting My Space into My Best Space can get done. I created zones. Probably should do the biggest zone first, that's the back area. Then the most important, that's my desk.
My desire to write a book inches to plans to write a book, then advances to scattered writing with a timer. What I need there is a plot to write about, not neglected but not settled, and dedicated times to do nothing else but write, another partially successful intervention. What I need there is a barrier to what else I could be doing instead.
My desire to create three articles for submission, one down, takes a similar pattern. There's the writing, which I do, then the submission where I'm too timid or unaware of best destinations. Maybe I need a coach, or maybe I need to play lottery and just send stuff already written. Just Do It and learn later may have a place here.
I also have initiatives that I fully accomplish. I've read my assigned selection of books ten weeks into the half-year with proper distributions of traditional, e-book, and audiobook along with the distribution of fiction, non-fiction, Jewish theme. Getting to my kids takes a mixture of planning and real travel, all ready to pursue.
Somewhere along the way, since each half-year's initiatives have similar themes, are the psychological underpinnings of the selections, something I may not have been entirely candid with myself exploring. Some is the challenge of doing the project. Some are better relations with people. Some is probably as much a quest for missing recognition as it is for the satisfaction of the achievement. That may be a better motivator, to be looked at as somebody worth looking at. To be a formidable, capable person.
Now in the middle third of the semi-annual cycle. Direct attention to My Space and my public expressions.
