Multi-tasking self-improvement

 Here I am again, during my lunch break, back to the routine that seems to have been established. Lunch time is a good time for work, since by the time I get home a) I'm really tired in a brain-fried kind of way and b) when I finally get home I want to spend the hour or two I've got, for time with my wife, or doing household upkeep things that need to get done.

I'm working on a lot of things right now, self-improvement style. I'm working on getting rid of the feeling/belife thing-y of 'there's never enough time.'

I'm working on being more efficient and productive, with ease and focus.

I'm working on being more joyful in life, in work.

And I'm working on letting myself be myself, finding my own idiosyncratic methods of doing a good job at my work, while letting myself focus and act on what I value.

Partly to help with the other element I'm working on, of enjoying work more/being less exhausted at the end of the day.

That's a lot of balls to juggle, perhaps. I'm trying to follow the advice that if you try to do a whole bunch of things well, you'll do none of them very well, but if you focus on a few or one, you can really do that to a high level. Also, when implementing new habits, it's best to focus on as few as possible, until they are well established. Each new habit you add makes the likelihood of sticking with any of them lower. Once they're established, then you can add new ones and it won't compromise the one's you have. Though there is always the limit of how many hours there are in a day.

So, that's where I am right now. I'm looking forward to the weekend, since I'll be doing a virtual couples retreat, and that means I'm taking Friday off, and it happens to be a school holiday next Monday as well.

I think that's all for now. Oh, no, one more thing, I'm thinking about what kinds of activities I can do, to play and rejuvenate myself, that are high quality. Meaning they offer long-term positive benefits. For the most part watching TV or playing video games doesn't offer a lot long term, it's just fun, but learning a skill and or creating things offers more bang for my time buck, while also potentially being refreshing.

OK, I Out once more
