We all have days
that things just don’t seem to get done and then there are the days
that everything seems to get accomplished.
Lately I have been
dealing with the days that things don’t seem to get done and then I
realized why that was. I am working on some bigger projects that a
day isn’t going show me the results that I have wanted to see. It
has been a big challenge because I was starting to get down on myself
for not getting things accomplished but then I realized that instead
of just looking at the end result I needed to start looking at all
the little bits of things that I have accomplished along the way.
Not every thing will
work like this, but what I ended up doing was actually tracking some
of the smaller things that I accomplished each day and then I started
to feel a little better. Also I started to write down all the little
things that needed my attention that I was trying to keep in my head.
Being able to un-clutter the mind has also resulted in me feeling a
lot better and I am seeing some results again. Of course, the big
projects are still there but at least now that I am seeing even the
smaller steps accomplished it makes me feel a lot better.
I think we all go
through times where things just don’t seem to be moving forward and
we forget about the small accomplished that have been reached along
the way. For most projects there are the smaller accomplishments and
they need to be noted when you start feeling like you are getting no
where for a few days. The list that I keep isn’t very detailed but
it is starting to show me that even when I feel like nothing is
getting done I can see the few little steps that have been
accomplished along the way.
There are always
going to be things that take you away from the main task that you had
on your agenda for the day but you need to realize that the other
things also needed to get done. The getting the small things done
are also important and knowing that they can get done and out of the
way is also good. For us it can be a simple email or a text message
that changes our day so knowing that even bits of some tasks are
getting accomplished works well.
Getting the tasks
done may not be something that is accomplished in a day but at least
seeing that some progress has been made can really make a different.
The tasks may have feel extremely overwhelming at some point but then
you just need to look at them in the small pieces and you will feel
better as you get each of the smaller pieces accomplished. Lots of
pieces of paper to track some of the accomplishments will let you
know that you are getting things done but maybe just not as quickly
as you first thought.
