One, two, and three –
This, that, the other –
X, Y, and Z –
When is the last time you felt like you were on a roll? When have you been totally in tune with your mojo? What were you able to accomplish that day?
I had one of those days today. It was crazy cool, and I certainly didn’t expect the day to go anywhere near as well as it did. I attended Mass, apologized to a friend, put in over three hours of billables reviewing decisions, sent emails, compared like teas, received calls, made calls, sent more emails, cleaned up my paperwork pile, sorted a “do soon” pile, tested tech, cleaned my room, sorted items into boxes for storage and tagged them, moved a bunch of stuff to storage, took a few items out of storage, took a bunch of pictures, finally posted stuff on Freecycle and Craigslist, and even found my jammin’ CDs that have been missing for several months. I got stuff done today that I wasn’t expecting to have time for until tomorrow.
And I still feel zippy.
Today was ridiculously productive, and I still feel like I’m flying. (I’m going to crash so hard when I zonk.) I was active and proactive, I was getting things prepared to move forward, I was reading through homework reading for fun as I was waiting for people to answer the phone. When was the last time you were given a reading assignment and you actually wanted to do it? I can’t remember the last time I was so excited to read about anything and stayed excited through the entire endeavor… well, other than fuel cells. (Okay, so I just remembered one, but typically I lose my enthusiasm after a little while.)
Oh! Also, I found something I’ve been looking for even longer than the awesome CDs that resurfaced:
Epic find, I tell you, epic find.
And I still have room in my storage unit for quite a bit more stuff – probably more than I want to part with for my day-to-day. I have more pressing matters to attend to tomorrow, but I am excited to get back to this and determine what exactly can go into the storage unit. (I’m convinced it’s just about everything.) Have I ever mentioned that I thoroughly enjoy real life Tetris? (My storage unit is a 5′ x 10′ plot packed with stuff floor-to-ceiling from the back forward with a path through to access everything with space at the front for temporary storage. It’s perfectly executed.)
Even moreso, I’m thrilled for the things I’m going to get done tomorrow. With today’s work out of the way, I can attend to tomorrow’s tasks freely and with proper focus. (It also put me in the right mindset because tomorrow I will be assessing office space. Speaking of office space, I was offered an office space today… I am totally thrilled about that to the point that, especially coupled with the excitement of today, I don’t know how to respond without sounding like an over-excited tweeny-bopper.)
So, again, I ask, when was the last time you were on such a roll? What were you doing to get you there? How did it start? More importantly, how did you keep it going? What was the best part about it?
I’m looking forward to facing tomorrow’s challenges with the same vigor, getting just as much done, and feeling even more accomplished because tomorrow’s tasks are even more critical to the march forward. Today was more about opening the gate; tomorrow is concerned with taking those first few steps down the path.
What does your tomorrow look like?
