This Is Me--2024 A to Z Theme

My A to Z Themes in the past have covered a range of topics and for 2024 the theme is a personal retrospective that I call "I Coulda Been" which is in reference to my job and career arc over my lifetime. I'll be looking at all sorts of occupations that I have done or could have done. Maybe you've done some of these too!

Tossing It Out Tuesday: Getting Organized

            Since coming back from vacation and trying to catch up with everything that's accumulated over three weeks,  I've been having a time management problem.  I've decided that I need to simplify my life and start tossing out the things that complicate my time schedule.  I'm going to start with my clocks.

             Also I've been distracted by something that's happening next Wednesday January 26, 2011.  Be watching this blog for a surprise announcement.  I can hardly wait!

  1. I have a time management problem daily. Getting rid of the clocks may be a solution, although I am not sure how they will take my lateness at work. Look forward to reading what the big surprise is.

  3. I can't imagine what announcement you will make on the 26th........Well I can but I don't think THAT would be it.....lol

  4. ah, you still have things to toss out?
    I'm almost convinced you will announce that you are pregnant and that's why you wore the formal blanket at the gala!

  5. Well, I guess the 26th isn't to far away. I guess I will have to wait, but since COPD it won't be with baited breath, and with an aging and widening bottom area it won't be on pins and needles, it doesn't sound like I should be waiting for my ship to come in, so I will just wait.

    While I am waiting I will seriously consider tossing out my clocks right along with you.

  10. I'd like to simplfy my life by going back about 17 years. I think that's when we bought our first computer...

  15. Toss out clocks, good one! When my son moves out, I'm giving him at least 10, the latest one, that shakes his bed and sounds like a security alarm still doesn't wake him easily. Wakes everyone else in the house, though! augh~

    Can't wait to hear your news~

  21. Looking forward to the surprise. Also waiting with baited breath for when you post feedback/review on Owen Fiddler. ;)

  22. Crystal Mary -- I'm not sure why that made me sound like a wise lady when I was trying to sound like a wise guy.

    Hilary -- Life often seems the same but is always changing.

    Marvin -- I'm slating the Owen Fiddler review for next Tuesday if nothing distracts me.

  23. Lee about 30yrs ago I tossed my TV out. That was probably one of the best things I ever did. Are you brave enough to toss it? Ha Ha Ha.
    Looking forward to the 26th.

  24. If only I can commit to a week of serious organization without doing anything else, I'd get somewhere. And then I'd have the guilt-free time that I desire so often. :)

    Good luck with your strategy and I'll be looking for the big news on Wednesday!
