Productivity upgrade



In the next 2 weeks, I will become a college student again after 11 years. I'm looking forward to my studies with some worry and excitement.

I hope I can be organized with my schedule and productive despite fatigue and the pressure of other responsibilities. Stress should not be an issue if I face assignments with a can-do attitude.

I've planned a budget to pay for school and stay out of debt. My conscience recoils from student loan forgiveness and default mechanisms. Education is worth paying for.

Making plans and setting goals has brought me to life. I have a good feeling of impending satisfaction in my abilities though I am disabled.

Things get done

 Motivated for success

March 15, 2923


It's been only 3 years that I have struggled with cardiac symptoms related to heart failure. I learned a lot about myself and what I'm capable of doing through sheer determination and will.

Exercise is doable when I get enough rest. Sometimes I don't sleep well and lack motivation in the morning. I don't need to start my day before 5 or 6 am.

When I'm organized, I can manage cooking and light housecleaning. It helps to have someone come once a week to do the hard stuff. 

It's interesting to me how much I can do resting. I learned to use my phone productively and keep things I use by my bedside. As long as I get up and move around enough I won't lose muscle tone. I just need to lay down after working.

Delegating is a skill I have had to use to avoid overdoing it. I know when I need help. Thankfully, that help has always been available. When I communicate clearly, things get done.
