Manic Monday

if complicated excel calculations were done correctly, here i am on approximately the 2,323rd monday in my lifetime... you'd think i'd have figured it out by now! you'd be very wrong.

why am I doing silly excel calculations when i need to be getting organized here at the home office? procrastination... i'm an expert and i probably have a lot of company on that one. if only I could be paid for it! i'd be a millionairess for sure. lol

i had all day yesterday to work and organize and sit here in my pj's getting things done. i did not. it was definitely one of those days where all i seemed to accomplish was getting distracted. it isn't because i'm having a block or anything. i have a gazillion ideas swirling around in my head, which i'm guessing is the problem.

today is starting out a bit better and the accomplishments thus far are as follows:
  • coffee #3 -- it's getting hot even with a/c running so i'm going to have to switch to a cold beverage for the next go round.
  • scored TRAIN concert tix with the bf. philly in august here we come!! WOOHOO!!
  • made a long list of things to do so that i'm not all over the place and can concentrate on one thing at a time.
  • got through the BBA weekly thread and visited each link posted so far... great links and all inspiring so it was definitely time well spent. if you want to follow along with what i think is awesomeness, you can do so <--- over there in the left column titled "Keep The Line Moving". i promise you won't be disappointed.
  • a little playtime with excel.  because my brain is neither left nor right, yes, i do love making pretty pictures and things with my hands, but i am equally happy doing research and calculating.
alrighty then... i'm actually going to break now because i spend the afternoons with my bf and critters and then i'll be back to work when he leaves for his 2nd shift job. i'll be back here with more blogposts this week so i can update on what's been added to my etsy shop because that task is definitely on the list since it's been close to a week between new listings.

wish me luck that i come up with something spectacular. :)

peace and love and wishing you all a very happy, healthy, successful, productive week. Pin It

  1. There are days when I feel very manic and wonder if I will get it all done. I try to remember to do one thing at a time.

  4. Sometimes my mind goes way faster than my body and I end up doing nothing since I can't do everything. Does that make sense? I did finally get some things accomplished today so I'm feeling much better about it.

  5. I'm definitely a to do list girl :) I'd be so lost without one! Speaking of Excel...I need to add that to my to do list for this week! I got my taxes done, but I still need to update my cost log!

  6. sounds like your Monday worked out well. I have "hott notes" (looks like post-its) on my desktop, which are great for to-do list and reminding me what's up. Might be a good place for that "long list"! BF has two shifts? Bummer working, but nice to bring in $$... {:-Deb

  8. I definitely relate! Distraction is a big problem. Lots and lots of ideas can be a distraction.
