What to change

A piece of advice from another site that I think is some of the best I’ve heard in a long time for when it feels like everything is out of control.

“If you’re unhappy with your life, make a list of things that you’d like to be different.  Cross out the ones that are out of your control and get to work on changing the rest of them.”

Here is my short list of things I want changed:
Weight - I am not happy where I’m at and I can do something about it
Time Management - I alone am in control of my schedule.  There is no reason waste as much time as I do.
Organization - I wish I were more organized.  I can organize anything - as long as it isn’t mine.  Since I can do that, I can get my own stuff organized as well.
Unfinished Projects - Way too many around

So far today, working toward the changes - 45 minutes of exercise, plenty of water.  I’m getting all of my unfinished projects together and figuring out what to do first.  As Dawn posted a few days ago, I too feel like I have wasted a lot of time.  No more wasting of time.  It goes by so quickly and I don’t want to miss out on another minute.

    Great advice. Thank you.

    BTW, have you been writing my list for me? LOL

    It is exactly what I need to put on mine, except I have about another 50 items on it. I’m so tired thinking about it, I may need to lie down!

    The only thing different is that you have done 45 minutes exercise today and drunk plenty of water. I haven’t done either.
