When you were young
Long weekends were supposed to rock. This long weekend has been taken up by being lazy and doing work (like work work not home work.) Work work is crazy... nothing new or interesting happening - just more of the same stuff. I hate the Sept- December time frame - this one is going to be particularly bad. There's too much work and not enough people to do it all. My attempts at decreasing the items in my Inbox is failing miserably, and even the extra hours at night and on the weekend don't seem to be helping much. Anyone having any good tips on how to organize other than the urgency vs. importance? Like good tips for getting stuff off my plate? I'm trying to throw as much stuff over the wall as possible - but everyone else is just as swamped. We've gotten to the point of turning away business b/c we're not going to make enough money to bother to quote it. Even if we know we are going to win the business and it's good margins. We just don't have time of the little stuff.
September is going to be a crazy month.
I've really learned a lot about myself through running. I've learned that I can do a lot more than I thought I could. I've learned what it really means to push myself. I've learned that I love myself after I push myself - and I always feel better after a run that I've really pushed myself even though I feel like I want to die. I've learned that you have good days and bad days. These good and bad days can be contributed to a variety of things - what I ate, how much I've drank that day, and most importantly if my head is in the right place. It's really true that running is 10% physical and 90% mental. If my head is in the right place I know what I want, how to get it, how far I can push, and most importantly the will to get to the finish line. If my head is not in the game I don't go (note: I'm not using the word "can't") as far, I don't go as fast, I don't push myself to my limits, I can't see two steps beyond my current position. Sometimes it's hard to see the forest through the trees - it's all about the mental game.
I guess I need to brushup on my mental game for the sprint to the finish a the end of the year. Man... this is more like a marathon than a sprint. I don't know if I'm ready for 26 miles. I think I can... I think I can.... I think I can.... I think I can.. choo chooo!
