Just now on the train, I opened up the memos folder on my phone to start a new memo to myself and I laughed.  I make up a lot of notes for myself. Ideas to write about.  Emails to send. Things I want to look into. The lists and notes that I write are endless. It is so great that I take the time to write these notes……but I often forget to ever look at them after they have been written. Not so great. Haha.

I often wish that I had a dry erase board that took up an entire wall of my apartment (yes chalkboard is nice, but messier).  That way I would have endless room for all of these ideas that I like to get out of my head and I will always see these lists and notes that come out of me. Currently, at home I have three dry erase boards mounted next to each other in a cluster, all designated for different things. All with lists. Some with several categories.  And I still almost always forget to look at them, because once these notes/ideas/thoughts are out, new ones fill up that space in my head!  It is constantly going!

What I have been telling myself for months is that I want to make a schedule for myself.  I will wake up at a set time.  I will create my own schedule.  OK, I did move across the country, work hard to get this site up and then get called away on tour, again.  Then moved into a new apartment, getting all of my belongings out of storage and building a new home.  So, I guess I can take myself of the hook a bit and not say for months….but I had this trouble with myself in my last home of Hermosa Beach as well.

I am ready now!  I will designate certain hours to writing (book will happen).  Certain days for posts.  Certain days for emails. Certain days for shopping. I will pre-select the yoga classes that I will go to for the week  I will structure my life (but still leave some flexibility in it…) Because I don’t answer to anyone or have anyone working under me, I don’t hold myself to things. I let myself miss wake up alarms. I tell friends visiting from out of town that I am available at their convenience and then I get perturbed when I am supposed to go meet them because I have just hit a stride.

So, get ready you note pads and dry erase boards and memo folders!  You are going to be paid attention to!
