Weekly Goals

         I'm going to start making a weekly goals chart, like we do here for WDC. Only this will be everything, not just writing, organizing, reading, and thinking. I consider clutter and reading/researching writing related, as well as attending arts events.

         The other things I need to list include phone calls, letters, bill paying, bank balancing, insurance matters, car repairs, lawn work, etc. My mind is more scattered and I have more things to remember than ever. Having more flexible time does not solve time organization problems. A calendar keeps the appointments. But I need to list things like "Go to post office", "call bank (1/2 hr minimum) to do transfer". check beneficiaries on life insurance, etc. At this point I can't even keep track of when I changed the sheets. I have to list that, too.

         It's not aging alone. It's the absence of stress. I've been operating under heavy stress for so many years, that now when I'm relatively stress-free, I can't function. With some weekly physical or tangible goals maybe I can focus. Then I cab have some loftier, less tangible things in there, too.
