Nice – Trying for a photo insert with text wrapping to see how that goes.

Evie the evil Evelyn

This pic is close to three years old.  I shudder to think of how many places this avatar is scattered around the Internet representing me, Evie the evil Evelyn.  When I first took the name I had been Evie and Evelyn and Evie again … but it just seemed so plain – specially since it was nearing Samhain (Halloween ) But name with the ability to easily be remembered … Evie the evil Evelyn … Fit like a charm

Now my issue is the fact I literally have this pic 100’s of places.  I have a little over a month until the pic IS three years old.  That will be my goal date for updating the avatar pic of Evie the evil Evelyn or 2emc

I’m everywhere ~ I’m everywhere … but that also seems to be part of the issue … trying to think of analogy the other day as to what type of focus factor I have I came up with the analogy of – I have the focus factor of fairy dust – my daughter thought I’d hit it on the head.  But SERIOUSLY ~ fairy dust focus power can be a good thing … I just have to figure out what that good thing is

Lovin’ It   Everyday is a brand new day ~ we can not change anything of the past, and anything in this precise moment in time may not change a future, BUT we can take each present moment and be IN it to make it the best IT can be.  Enough moments spent being, doing, striving toward your personal best … Like a high jumper strives to fly just a millimeter higher with each jump, so shall we be able to if we but strive to do our best in every precious moment.

Eating well has been something that has gone out the window, as well as walking and then exercising with the fun stuff going on right now.  The police said to not let the threats keep me from the stuff I love to do – I DO think I like living better than any of the other alternatives … BUT … if while one is living, but they are dying a slow death – what does that mean?  ARE they really living?

Just more thoughts I am thinking while I am writing this blog and working with pictures to see how they integrate into the overall scheme of things.

Hmmm … from what I am seeing – I must needs to get my rear back in gear.  I’ve been *off* for far too long.

Procrastination can easily creep in and become a habit. Once it does, it erodes your capacity to function effectively.  It can also be one of the hardest habits to break.  However, with some honest self-assessment and an organized and attainable plan of attack, procrastination CAN be overcome successfully.

Be gentle with yourself when you decide to kick the procrastination habit.  It may be so ingrained you don’t even fully recognize all the ways you actually procrastinate.  Start by taking a large or complicated tasks and breaking them down into smaller parts that you can accomplish easier.  It’s important to bear in mind that even the most difficult or complex of tasks are simply just a series of smaller tasks.

Make a verbal commitment to someone else about improving your time management skills and your desire to avoid procrastinating. Allow others to become involved in your efforts by reviewing your progress, helping you set deadlines or evaluating your results can be very helpful.  This will most likely create a commitment on your part to fulfill the expectations they’ve set for you.

Sit down and map out a plan to manage your time more effectively.  When a deadline is looming, make sure you allot time each day to work on the project so it doesn’t sneak up on you in the final hours or days.  Learn to ask for help when you’re feeling overwhelmed or overworked.

Reward yourself for good behavior and accomplished goals.  Don’t wait until you’ve accomplished your ultimate goal,  reward yourself for your successes along the way.  Make sure the reward is something you like to do.  Treat yourself to the newest book by your favorite author and take the time to read it.  Indulge in bubble baths or relaxing music.  If you’ve gotten into the habit of working late, make sure you develop a new habit of going home on time each night.

By making a commitment to avoid the avoiding habit, you’ll soon be well on your way to finding more time and find yourself more relaxed and productive and less stressed in the process.
