Learning

I've learned a lot in the past few weeks. Some from sitting in on D-school lectures, others from conversations with friends, living with a family with toddlers, work, or life in general...

A favorite quote from last week is, "the reward for good work is more work." That's really not so rewarding, but I can totally relate...


I probably spend too much time planing, organizing, making to-do lists and, getting ready to do real work, rather than actually working, but I sure love marking things off my to-do list. I don't always prioritize things by importance or urgency, but rather by what I want to do, or trying to get the little things out of the way so I can focus on the big tasks with less distractions.

I'm a perfectionist, and a people pleaser, but lately I've come to the realization that I cannot please everyone, nor meet everyone's expectations. Half of the time, I even manage to disappoint myself. I am not perfect. I fail. I mess up and make mistakes. I try to do too much at once, and then forget to do things. There's probably things that I forgot that I forgot, because I never put it on the list. And things like blogging are not even on the to-do list, nor a priority, but I do it anyway :)
