How many things can I add to my to-do list?


I have really had to learn how to ask for help over the last two weeks. That realization that I cannot do it on my own creates a physical reaction, almost like itchy skin after rolling around in the grass for too long as a kid. Or an adult. Whatever. The point is that I always feel like I can manage it all on my own and it’s become evident that I cannot.

Tackling the following, small items over the next 6-8 months:

  • Wedding – 92 days left to plan and execute (5 months in total)
  • NY Marathon – 4 months left to train (5.5 months in total)
  • Move to the shore from outside of NYC – COMPLETE!
  • Working full time with work travel (lots of quality time at the airport)
  • Back to Crossfit post-injury (the first workout back left me sore for 3 days! Thankfully has been better since then. Whew)
  • Vacation, weddings, social activities
  • Starting my own side venture
  • Learning to play guitar (I can read music but my playing needs a LOT of help)
  • Scuba Certification
  • Find a good community /cause to volunteer (need to be better about giving back)
  • At least 30% of my pilot’s license hours (I need 50 hours)
  • Maintain healthy living (i.e. cook a lot)
  • Plan our honeymoon (I have no clue where we should go ahhhh!)
  • Stay sane
Guitar practice
Practicing!! Picture I sent to Patrick when he was working late in NYC. I have a long way to go so not sure why I am smiling.

 

I acknowledge I like to take on as much as I can and tend to be more motivated when I have a few “things in the hopper.” I would never actually say this phrase out loud but captures the sentiment well.

So managing my life lately has been a combination of effective tools and taking time to breathe and be easier on myself. A few Mlee Marker recommendations in list form to be called “THE MM LIST.”
