It is rare that I edit an entire entry. But, every now and then, I write something that, on reflection, I am simply not satisfied with. When that happens, I take advantage of the ability to delete or edit that entry. This entry was originally about my struggles with time - but my thoughts around those struggles were not complete, so I decided to declare a do over and hit the delete button.
Let me simply start out by saying today, I struggled with time. There are days when I get harried. Basically, what happens, is that my expectation of the timing of the day does not line up with the actual timing of the day and it frustrates me. It is one of my major stress triggers, at home and at work. Consequently, inside of me, I feel a great urge to get better control of my timing as I go through the day.
In order to do this I need to simplify, I need to de-clutter the days. I think I am approaching a time for another wave of simplification, perhaps a semi-drastic wave of simplification. I need to get things trimmed down to what matters to me, and then let myself focus on what matters.
Now, those three paragraphs are next to nothing like what I originally wrote, but they are closer in spirit to what I was trying to say, minus the pointless complaining and vaguely talking around the subject. I like this entry better, it is tighter, it gets to the point, and it is a good starting point for the further conversations around time.
Popping over onto a completely different subject - I saw and enjoyed "The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug" today. I would recommend it - a solid addition to The Hobbit series of movies. Then, in the evening, I've watched two episodes of "Almost Human" from the DVR, which I enjoy immensely as well.
