Open and Structured

I am not simple. I am aware. I am open, but as I bring in ideas, and store them, the framework within me grows. Feelings and memories get stored , my brain lies to me (so I’ve heard)- but it’s more like the brain needs to fill in gaps because there is no way it can absorb and process everything. My wife is listening to yacht rock as she gets ready for going to work today. I have the day off of work, but I have a lot of work lined up to do.

I do best when I take the time to organize my thoughts into my daily structure. My daily structure is the patterns of my life that are repetitious. It starts with the  morning thoughts, then a description of my Physical Health data-namely sleep and water. Then money, then a prompt to review my reminders and calendar.Then there is space for any incoming thoughts into an Eisenhower Matrix, followed by the Mood Meter. Finally there is a Priority Indicator to line up my day.

“Trust yourself to be open to God’s inspiration for your course direction, even if there’s a Grimacing Tide coming your way.”

From the above statement, let’s analyze the word YOURSELF. We will use a Frayer Model for the analysis.

IOS reminders are so simple and powerful, why am I avoiding them? I’ve thought for a long time that they have all the features I would need to be a good Project List. Because as I create an organization system, there are inherently flaws in the system, and that makes me feel disappointed, pessimistic, and apprehensive. It pulls my energy. What energizes me? Hearing that it doesn’t need to be perfect. Hearing that it’s a work in progress. Hearing that it was a good start. Hearing that the effort was not wasted, and that it was good enough. Knowing that it will be there for me later to refer to and that I don’t need to remember it all right now.
