I start, but get distracted...and start blogging :) seriously, though, there is nothing wrong with you, like Kelly said, we just don't get to be superwomen in this life.annaliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11025595501225706886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426264311328191140.post-29068360345710328942008-07-24T15:22:00.000-07:002008-07-24T15:22:00.000-07:00I totally understand where you are coming from! I...I totally understand where you are coming from! I think we all have those moments when we just get so fed up with all our own crap! <BR/><BR/>I've had to put myself on a schedule as well but mine is less a schedule and more an order of doing things that I have found works well for me. It helps me keep my day flowing well and I feel more satisfied and happy on the days I stick to that order of things than on the days I get distracted and flip things around. <BR/><BR/>I'll be praying that you figure out a daily system that helps you get unfrustrated with yourself!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16314047292064362344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426264311328191140.post-69225901571107004542008-07-23T17:02:00.000-07:002008-07-23T17:02:00.000-07:00When I get frustrated, you know what I do?

I see how tunnel-vision and forgetfulness must frustrate you, but I also see that your tunnel vision makes you very good at applying yourself to a task, and your forgetfulness comes from an ability to think ahead and plan for the near future. <BR/><BR/>Sure, you may neglect the washing, but I bet when you get to it, you apply yourself with as much zeal as you do to your blog designs. <BR/><BR/>And you may back into a post while you're thinking three steps ahead, but you probably have prepared a heat-proof board ready to put a hot saucepan on rather than hopping around saying, "I've got a hot pan here - somebody get me a board to put it on!"<BR/><BR/>So I really loved what your counsellor told you. Don't take the Shannon out of Shannon, rather, organise it so that you can make it work FOR you, not against you.<BR/><BR/>I think a weekly timetable might be something to consider instead of a daily one. It will give you a bigger picture of all those things you need to do. I might do one for me as well, I could use a little help too.<BR/><BR/>Will pray for you in my Quiet Time.<BR/><BR/>PS what I HATE about me - I worry about health things, especially when there's a Health Promotion on. Right now they're raising awareness of ovarian cancer, so every little imaginary twinge has me worried even though I have no real symptoms, only imaginary twinges! Funny, I never get them when I'm too busy to worry!Givinya De Elbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07746896375826415145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426264311328191140.post-42860531409285040322008-07-23T15:03:00.000-07:002008-07-23T15:03:00.000-07:00oh I feel it!

Take your pick but somehow they don't all get done on a regular basis.<BR/><BR/>What's wrong with me? I need a passion. I don't feel excited. The things I do want to be excited about will probably never happen so I try not to think about them. I'm on a passion hunt!Lee Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08820584534112722489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426264311328191140.post-45387186624081463732008-07-23T09:14:00.000-07:002008-07-23T09:14:00.000-07:00I struggle with this all. the. time.

I am so thankful for people who blog the truth and speak reality - authenticity is gift - to the world around you... thanks for sharing your thoughts and your personal counseling session (if you've read my last 3 blogs you will know the things that bug me about myself). Seriously... a book on cognitive thinking... I say write a list for the rest of the family to do - sweep the dust under the rug - have a glass of wine and a piece of dark chocolate and treat yourself to a 2 hour massage - rent a comedy and laugh more - life is far too serious most of the time and you are exactly who God designed you to be - forward thinking and all. You are loved.Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07205802084602020385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426264311328191140.post-65959082135473059892008-07-22T18:48:00.000-07:002008-07-22T18:48:00.000-07:00I hear you loud and clear Shannon!!

I, too, am and acts of service person, and I want to give that gift to my family (and to myself in a few areas) and my intentions are good, but it seems like my time is "stolen" throughout the day and it leads to my own frustration at not being able to do what I want to do for others. OR, just not having enough energy at the end of the day to get those things done. I HATE letting people down, and it happens sometimes.

I get easily distracted and try to do too many things at once. Which means less gets done and less gets done WELL. And I also have the addictive/obsessive thing. I need to focus on the now and not the "why am I not THERE?" place that I often get caught in.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06193560597039721606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426264311328191140.post-16664619679348112162008-07-22T15:49:00.000-07:002008-07-22T15:49:00.000-07:00I hate when no matter how happy I try to be or how...I hate when no matter how happy I try to be or how many nice things I say about people who are being stupid (like drivers and people in walmart) and no matter how much I strain to see the beauty all around me... I still feel blah and ornery and unhappy... and I have no idea why. I set up a schedule to my best to keep my busy... but that fails too... and I ask myself... and I the only one that the dark catches up with? YUCK!<BR/><BR/>Good luck to you and I hope you are feeling better and that you schedule works out for you! Do what makes you happy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
