My bucket

About two years ago I found this picture on the internet.

At the time I felt it symbolized me.

Holes in my life.

Energy slipping away.

Today I found this picture again.

Now I feel differently.

Of course, some of my energy has to go to what I consider

less important tasks.

But even those tasks are now more in balance.

Each action is needed to make my whole life OK.

Since Jan 1st 2008 I have recorded as many

as possible of the specific actions I have

done during each day,

instead of what I planned to do.

Focusing on accomplishments, instead of plans, leaves me

a happier person at the end of the day.

For each action I have done, I also categorize that action

according to

HAVE FUN

EARN MONEY

DO GOOD

By doing this, I am more conscious of the balance between

the three.

You think I am crazy writing it all down?

For me, now is the time to focus on living

a more balanced and happy life.

Writing it down, slows me down enough to make

this a learning experience.

Conclusion : I have repaired my bucket fairly well during

the last year.
