Consistency

I feel like I'm accomplishing more lately. I still feel like I have a long way to go. But, it's nice to feel as if I've accomplished some things. My new things...that I have yet to use are the Covey Matrix and Block Scheduling. We'll see how it goes. I'll get the tasks all set and times that I'm going to do certain things. After that, it'll just be a matter of plugging things into the right slots. And...to be consistent in continuing to do that. I think that's one of my biggest issues. Consistency. It's a big deal. I also need to figure out a way to plan on a consistent basis as well. The best system isn't going to work unless I actually do it.
I also need to find a way to have the tasks visible and add habits as much as I am able. It's seems that if I can make a habit out of something...I'm much more likely to be consistent.

Aha Moment

I've been having more thoughts about how to work with my brain. I've been thinking lately about figuring out the why behind things for other scenarios. It's mostly involved other people and other people's lives. I had an 'aha' moment a few days ago when I realized that I need to apply that to my own life. I need to figure out why I do what I do. I'm hoping that will help me find solutions and strategies to make my life better. I would love to actually get things done and feel like I've accomplished something. I think I would feel better about myself and be able to share a better version of myself with others.

Future Plans Ideas

I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do for income. I participated in a webinar today about publishing a book. I've also listened to a couple of others about speaking and blogging. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I feel like there's a message I need to share with people. I'm just not sure what that is right now.
I've been having thoughts about traveling to share my message and help people. While I'm in those locations I would also take photos of things/places that are unique to that area. I want to do something to help people.
It would also be great to figure out a way to get some passive income going. The thoughts I've had about that are doing something like a book or a stock photo site.
As far as photos go...at some point I'd thought to share some in 'coffee table' format.
I think part of my issue is that there are too many options. There are several things I'd like to do. I mostly want to do something that will help others.
I've also given some thought to going back to school and earning a Masters of Social Work.

TED Talk

I just watched this Ted Talk. It's fabulous. I felt like I had experienced some of the same things she has experienced. I have felt some of the same things as well. I still need to figure out how my brain works and how I can assimilate into a society that doesn't really like brains like mine.

Planning 2018

I've been working on my bullet journal for 2018. I've been coming up with ideas about the new year and how to make things work. I've been thinking about the things I can do with the kids. And, about things I need/want to accomplish. I'm getting excited. I'm trying to get closer to living a half way normal life. I still miss Layne - yet, at the same time trying to get used to doing things on my own. I know if I'm able to get a plan going - I'll be able to accomplish a few things. I feel like the last little bit I've had some days when I've been able to get a few things done. That feels good. I want to keep the momentum going.

Income Options

So, I've been thinking more about what to do for income. I feel like there are multiple options. I also feel like what I would like to do the most - I have no idea where to start. I've been attempting to do some research. I've also been trying to do a couple of figure out who you are kinds of things. I really have a desire to help others and attempt to do something that I would both be good at and enjoy.

The Message

Jonny and I have talked about career stuff before. This morning I asked him about mine. Okay...so, what he thought my strengths were. The first thing he said was that I was good at sharing opinions. Then it was, you like taking lots of pictures...and traveling...so do that. Oh, and you have lots of blogs so that could be in there too. You could travel around taking pictures and share stuff with people. How did he know that's what I would LOVE to do? I have thought before about having a travel site (which I've started), taking/sharing lots of photos along the way, and sharing some sort of message. I told him that part too - I feel like there's a message I need to share with others. We talked about finding my message. Oh, and where to share...YouTube, FaceBook. I would love to travel around, meet people, share a message that mattered, take pictures of awesome places/things - and just share it all. Guess I better figure out my message!
