a frustrating angry start to the week

Im all over the place.
Im frustrated because im all over the place
Im angry because im frustrated 
I feel like im failing at home and im failing at work
There aren't enough hours left to do anything like what needs to be done
New jobs and new things to react to keep turning up
Am I doing the right things? Almost certainly not

Okay. That was the past few days. Now its the present. What does the future bring?

Today I will
Find a pod and write a todo list, and a do today list. Time boxed to 30 min. I can come up with the mvp in 30 min.
I will assess my meetings and cancel what is less important than the things on my do today list.
I will do as much as I can on my list
I will run and have a drink
I will go home, do nothing chore-like unless I feel like it
I will go to bed early for a good day tomorrow 
I will do as much as I can in my day. 

10am: im still saying "fuck" a lot. Every minor setback makes me angry. Focus is hard.

soul food list

#SoulFoodList When I need love, affection, or adoration, I get this from: Helping other people and seeing them shine When I need attention or to feel special, I like: Being told I've done a great job. When I need peace or serenity, I'm in my happy place: drifting off to sleep on the porch of a hiking hut in the wilderness, listening to the dusk bird call or a babbling stream. When I need happiness or excitement, I get off on: Smashing out a PB deadlift or an impossible hiking day When I need thrill, adventure, pleasure, I like: driving fast but in control (and legally!) on a twisty road. When I need any or all the feels (or a good cry), I can: Listen to dire straits or the eurovision fire saga soundtrack. But I don't so much do feels.

Ritalin day one

I kinda like this Ritalin stuff. Toby says I got the fast release, not the slow release version because my doctor thinks I'm a responsible adult. Immediate release is 3-4 hrs and slow release is 8-12.  It feels like when I stop thinking, there is no monologue that keeps distracting me from stuff. Also I feel like I can feel the coffee hitting me harder. But it's hard to tell given I've just got back from Singapore - I feel refreshed and reset anyway, plus I've just changed 5 time zones. I don't need my europop or prog house mix in my head to focus I feel like the energiser bunny. I'm walking really fast. I feel a bit jittery. And I start a task and just ... do the task. I managed to have just one lunch at TJ Katsu, and just leave when I finished eating. So there's that! (Normally I stay on my phone, and then order a second lunch primarily to avoid work and stay on my phone for longer).  The day has passed in a blur! I don't know if I was more productive,...

a kilo up

Back from 87.9kg to 89kg in two days. I got this. I know what's happening and I can trust the process. In a fairly good mood this morning. I've got urgent dramatic tasks to do this morning so that should keep me focussed. I've got a couple of life admin things to knock off at lunch time. And the weekend will be busy! Keep focussed, keep productive.
