I am a list maker. Back in my employed by another days there was a list of chores for every weekend. One by one a line would snake through accomplishments. Those not completed moved to the next weekend.
It has been almost three months since my laying off. Today was momentous. My weekend list has not been removed. Wednesday the list exists, and today that is acceptable. Sundays are no longer weekend deadlines. This stuff will get done. Without deadlines coasting can happen. Without deadlines lists may also get longer. One page is now two. No panic. There is tomorrow and the next day, and the next….
With luck some were eliminated during the week, this was not to be counted on.
My mind set has been adjusted. My new normal accomplishes just as much, perhaps more, but on a different time frame.
