Making Progress


Well, I did it.
I created a Blogger account, finally.

I am so accustomed to my usual networking programs that I never thought I would see this day. But... Here I am. I have big plans too.

For starters, I bought a planner this year. Yeah, yeah, but I really mean to use it this time. It is a nice one. Genuine faux Italian leather. (It actually boasted that on the inside cover!) I bought it with a gift card I received for my birthday too. Money well spent.

I have been pretty good at writing in it so far. Recording all my prenatal appointments and meetings with potential website clients. I even spend a fair amount of time recording errands I got around to after I have already done them. Errands that were not on my to do list in the first place. I do this because then I get to look back on all these full days and feel more accomplished.

There is just one thing I have not gotten around to using it for yet. Um, unfortunately, this "one thing" is the useful intended purpose of the planner. Day after day, I forget to open it and check on what I have scheduled for myself. Don't get me wrong, it is still a bit of fun, working with this planner. It just hasn't made me a more organized, reliable person yet. But I am not giving up.

I vow, from this day forward, wait... I should start tomorrow, for a fresh beginning. OK, I vow, starting tomorrow morning, to check my planner first thing in the morning, every morning from now on. Perhaps, in the evening, I can blog here for a bit and then write down all my to-dos in my planner to be checked out the next day.

Yes, I can do this. I am a firm believer that if I do at least one thing, every day, in the direction of my ultimate long term goals, I will eventually get there. If doing nothing every day for all these years has gotten me nowhere, it is only logical to think that... Something = Somewhere!

But I jest, I am somewhere, just not quite there... Where I want to be, not yet.

I am however, MAKING PROGRESS!

More on this tomorrow... I promise (hopefully) And, perhaps I'll introduce myself too.
