The little debate inside my head...
So here it is... is it better to be a list maker or a fly by the seat of your pants kind of gal? Normally I have to say that I am not much of a planner - yet I know it's important to have things in writing - so here lies the debate...I don't feel like I am winning either way! When I make a list -life happens anyway (and boy did it happen today - feel free to insert the sh!) and I rarely accomplish the things on the list anyway - so then I am bugged that I didn't get enough done. However if I don't write it down and just try to do... nothing happens in order and I feel like I am running constantly and accomplishing little. So where is the happy ending? What do you think is better? How do you get rid of the guilt of not being everything to everyone and not being able to do everything that little person inside your head tells you that you should be doing? Or maybe it's just the person in my head?!

I just resign myself to the fact that I CAN'T GET EVERYTHING DONE and do the best I can. That's it.
We all have that little person in our head trying to tell us we're not good enough, not doing enough, not as good as, DON'T LISTEN TO IT.
hugs.
I am definitely a list maker, however I do LOVE to throw the list away after a days work even if everything is not checked off the list. I just "mental note" the things that didn't get done. Seriously, there is WAY too much to be done nowdays. The little and the big things really take up so much time. It is really amazing! I remember the care free days. At least you weren't at work ;)
American culture has the weakness of measuring ourselves by what we do, not who we are. The sacred day is the one of rest, not the six we are busy doing. The Savior answered Moses by "I Am", not by "I Do". I find I fall into the trap of too much to do all the time. One advantage of advancing age is, the capacity to do so much breaks down. I believe the ultimate question is and will be even more so, "How much did you love?", not, "How much did you do?" And you are one of the most loving persons I have the privilege of knowing.
You have voices in your head?....
never listen to the voices in your head, i always tell them to just be quiet and leave me alone :)
i am so not a list maker, i am just a doer! and then i don't feel bad for not getting anything done cuz i didn't know i had to do it.
