Have you ever had one of those days where you are so productive
that it makes you questions what you are going wrong every other day of your
life? Well today was one of those days for me. I started the day with a bit a
of a sleep in, I only got out of bed at 8:00 but I was feeling refreshed and
after half a pot of coffee I ready to face the day. During my coffee drinking I
checked my email, reading the positive and constructive feedback my supervisor
gave me on my PhD application letter. I got quickly to work updating the letter
with her suggestions and sent the next draft back to her and my reference
letter writers before 10:00.
That's when I hit
the upstairs of my house, assembling two Billy book cases from Ikea, placing all
the books on the shelves and vacuuming the entire floor. Okay, not the entire
floor, I have not made it to my bedroom yet, that is a project that will take a
different day. This was no small feat and it took me until almost 2:00 with
only a brief lunch break with my son.
Next was the main
floor, it needed to be vacuumed so badly! We have two small dogs and between
the dog hair, paw prints from the constant rain and left over pine needles from
the Christmas tree it was disgusting. So, by the time 4:00 rolled around I had
vacuumed and mopped the first floor, tackled my kitchen and got supper
going.
Now all of this to
say that I have absolutely no idea why some days are so good and others I can
barely keep the family in clean clothing! I never know when these days are
going to hit, but I sure do love it when they do.
I've try to
examine the days leading up to a super productive day. wondering if there is
something that I can pin point as a trigger, and I have yet to find anything. I
wish I could. I wish I could bottle this energy and save it for another day.
More than that I wish I could reproduce it and use it when my to-do list is
getting long. But alas, I can't. So now I must just try to keep the momentum
going.
But not tonight. It is almost 7:00 p.m. and my supper is done, kitchen
is clean, (dishwasher timer set) next load of laundry is in and my feet are up.
I'm about to log into Don't Starve Together to kill the next hour playing
before I should get my son started on his bed time routine.
Can't wait to see
what tomorrow will bring for productivity!!
Peace
