It’s so quiet this morning.
Of course I am sitting in the dark with my liquid motivator in hand.
My first day back was a good one. Very busy and by noon I was ready for a nap.
My staff made sure I did not wander too far from my desk and did my running for me.
It is nice when you hear “we missed you” from your team. I even got a welcome back cupcake.
I have had bosses I liked better on vacation. I am fortunate this group likes me around.
I was in bed before 9pm however. Totally exhausted. I haven’t used so many muscles or my brain in the past 2 weeks.
I did walk into a clean desk. That was comforting. No anxiety of seeing piles of paperwork. I made sure before I left I would come back to some organization. Kind of like cleaning house before you go on vacation so you come back to a relaxing atmosphere.
The thought of everything I needed to do or catch up with flooded my mind.
Payroll Monday
Grocery order
Menu
End of month paperwork
Invoices to pay
Invoices to get paid
End of year paperwork
End of year inventory
Schedule
Whew! I have a lot to do!
Before I could feel overwhelmed, I pulled out a piece of paper and made a “to do” list. I listed everything by priority and or time consumption. After completing the absolutely do it before 4pm on Monday items, I knocked off several quick and easy tasks.
Talk about a confidence boost!
Marking things off your To Do List is such a motivator and feels like a giant pat on the back!
Although I left work ready to go to bed, I felt like I actually put a big chunk in my mountain of paperwork.
Sure I am behind.
But this morning when I go in and look at my list and see all those beautiful lines running through my successes and I begin to add more,
it won’t be overwhelming.
It won’t look impossible.
I may be too tired to climb my mountain this week, but I can put my head down and burrow a hole straight through it!
I guess I should start my expedition with some clothes, but first, I deserve another cup of fuel to get my motor running.
☕☕here is to your journey today!
May your mountains be small,
Your love be big!
Ready?
Let’s get this party started!
