Too Much, Not Enough
By Sandra Lee Schubert | November 18, 2008
If you are like me you want to be two people. Or maybe three. There is the me that is brimming with ideas but is to tired to carry things through. I would let the other me sleep late, eat well, exercise more often and be ready to hit the ground running when I toss over my good ideas for implementation.
But there is just this me; tired and full of good ideas. Last night I jumped from one idea to another. I never settled on one thing that I could follow through on. Today I feel bad.
I am sure you can relate. I remember a scene in The Devil Wears Prada when the Meryl Streep’s character bursts into the office tossing off things to do for the assistants to catch. She could be brimming with good ideas but had the help to take the ideas into fruition. So what to do?
I am not sure. I would say the first thing is to make friends with a planner, a date book or a wall calendar. Devote a day or evening to a good idea. This way you can immerse yourself completely to the idea/project. Maybe you will discover the idea has no legs and you can put it on a back burner.
If you devoted two weeks to the idea project you may discover what really resonates with you right now.
I am going to try this. I will let you know how it goes.
What are your good ideas? How to you schedule your time? Let me know.
