“The trouble is that you think you have time.”— Jack Kornfield

Daily writing prompt
Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done.

Oh Dear Gentle Readers, where shall I start! And yes, I just watched the first four episodes of S4 of Bridgerton. (Have you watched it? What did you think?) One of the distractions that I allow in my life 🙂

Let’s see…there are three items on my to-do list that I allow myself to be pulled away from:

1. My Garden

I long to have a beautiful little well planned garden that has splashes of colour throughout the year. This takes time and research which I just have not made the time to do. I have a garden but it is a very green garden with very few colourful flowers. I am very inspired by two of my neighbours’ gardens. I am determined that this is the year that I get that planning and planting done!

2. Writing That Book

I know, this one is on a lot of people’s lists. I started this blog to gain confidence in my writing, which I have, but I still can’t get passed the first page or two of a book. I have no idea when that will happen.

3. Starting my business

This one is probably the most urgent of the three but still I have not lifted a finger. I have even listed it last. ´The reality is that it takes time and effort, which I still have not committed to internally. I guess I will get there when I get there. I need to work at becoming a morning person because I am way too tired in the evening to much done.

Of course as Jack Kornfield says, I think I have time but time is moving on anyway. What’s it gonna take to get yourself moving Michelle??? With any luck, I will have a great story to share by the end of the year.

Thanks for popping by.

Bye for now!

  1. It’s so easy to procrastinate about those things we should do, but don’t want to, isn’t it? In my case, it’s decluttering my “office.” It’s just a poorly lit room with three desks. Two are mine… each covered with stuff i don’t want to deal with. The third is a rolltop desk, kept neat as a pin. That one’s my husband’s. Thank God he doesn’t complain or nag at me about my messes!
