I Have More Important Things to Do – The Gentle Art of Ignoring

Photo by jasoon

At the end of the day, most people who have big projects on their plates also have big to do lists on their desk. Each day, this to do list will have a few things crossed off, but more will be added for the next day, and then it the list is never actually done. So how do we remedy this? How can we get more done with the same amount of time we have each day? It’s often a matter of ignoring large chunks of our list.

Ignore my to do list?!? You must be insane!!!!!  Read more... (1154 words, 1 image, estimated 4:37 mins reading time)

Find the Leaks in Your Day

Ask anyone why they aren’t achieving their goals or spending their days doing what they love, and most people will tell you that they just don’t have the time. I know, I’ve always been one of these people. The problem is this just doesn’t make much sense.

If you take a moment to think about that phrase, I just don’t have time, it’s pretty obvious that we all have 24 hours in a day. The problem is that most of us don’t use those hours very effectively. Most of us waste our time messing around or if we are accomplishing, it’s usually low impact tasks.  Read more... (756 words, 1 image, estimated 3:01 mins reading time)

Radical Action Plan: A Follow Up

Photo by flik

Last weekend was a very interesting one.  I got everything I wanted accomplished except for the goal “work 30 hours for work.”  I didn’t turn off the phone and my brother called to spend time with me.  We haven’t just “hung out” in months so I said sure as long as I get my goals done.  I spent most of the weekend just doing stuff with him, and I still got my goals accomplished.  I did them way faster than I even thought possible because I knew I wanted to go do stuff rather than take a long time on each goal.  Which really began to make it clear how quickly a person really can accomplish if the crunch is on.  Read more...

Radical Action Plan

A couple of weeks ago, I went on a working vacation.  I call it that because I was working a little each day at my job while I was gone, but also because I was working on a music video that I’ve been waiting a year to film.  So it was very exciting to finally get that on film and to take time with my kids and friends.  Read more...

Move to Lift Your Mood

Having a bad day? Feeling down or maybe just not in the best mood?  Maybe you’re just a little tired and feeling low, but can’t get a nap. There is something you can do that is better than that energy drink.  Move.  Seriously, get up and move, dance, walk, or run, but move.

Recent University studies have shown that movement can improve your mood. In fact several of these studies have shown improvement in the outlook of patients diagnosed with severe mental illness such as depression, bi polar disorder and schizophrenia.  At Indiana University, a study found that any physical activity throughout the day has a link to improvement in mood.  This study found that low to moderate activity was adequate to improve the mood of patients with serious mental illness.  Read more...

I talked about how busy I have become and some of the small changes I’ve made in my daily routine to get more done and feel more relaxed each day.  I focused on the small changes I’ve made to my “To Do” Lists, in Part II, I will focus on the small changes I’ve made in my life to feel less overwhelmed.

Overwhelmed! Part I

It seams like sometimes in life, there just aren’t enough hours in the day.  I know this has been true for me lately.  I have gotten myself involved in more projects and “to do’s” than I feel like I can handle.  Some of this is my own fault.  I seem to offer help in areas that follow my passion.  This means that I am now involved with a feature film project, a television project, and a short film project, along with a few other small parts in other films that are being filmed in my area.  Read more...
