I’m more interested in filtering and focusing than doing every idea I have.
I’m focused on the next three months. I’m not really thinking about any goals for next year other than allowing a couple summer trips to take shape (Schoolteacher Life Design Model). And a trip in February. I guess I see this holiday season as setting the stage for next year’s holiday season.
I don’t know that I want a rotating priorities board. I do feel my urges shift day-to-day and based on energy levels. I have no energy today for something I was excited about yesterday (organizing), likely because of what I made a priority last night (kids) and looking to priorities for the weekend (kids).
a bill paying center sounds really interesting. actually, i have a cart that i might repurpose for this! i’m not sure my particular interests fit an avocation station.
thirty binders sounds like a nightmare. i’m more of a thirty piles around the house kind of person. i do flirt with boxes; they seem to end up being long-term storage. i aspire to process them all, but recognize i probably won’t; a new priority will take over.
Barbara (an author) recommends so much writing. I read this last night:
Adventurers have an improvisatory nature. “We don’t think first; instead, our ideas come out as we talk. The person listening has to do the editing. I wouldn’t think of as much as I do if I tried to be succinct. I verbalize most everything that’s happening in my mind.”
