One my favorite daily tasks is creating this daily blog. That helps me face all my other daily tasks, no matter what I’m in the mood for. My daily blogging tasks include sharing my photos from yesterday:
What’s on your list of daily tasks?
My tasks today include
- getting ready for work,
- driving to a parking lot near Boston’s Fenway Park,
- pronouncing “Park” unlike a native Bostonian,
- walking the mile to the hospital where I work,
- being on “Quick Response” for the doctors and patients of the Primary Care Practice at the hospital,
- eating the right amount of greens to maintain a good INR level,
- ordering a half-portion of the best hospital macaroni and cheese I’ve ever had in my life,
- facilitating a “Coping and Healing” group,
- doing individual therapy, and
- enjoying the start of a long weekend.
Tomorrow, my tasks include
- doing individual therapy,
- taking my car in to be serviced,
- looking for comfortable, affordable, and spectacular-enough clothes for my 45th college reunion, and
- enjoying the long weekend.
Here‘s “Relaxing Concentration Music — designed to help you work, study, and focus on your task.”
Perhaps that music will help you focus on the task of leaving a comment, below.
Another one of my daily tasks is finding gratitude and sharing it with you.
Thanks to all the people who help me with my daily tasks and thanks — of course! — to my wonderful readers, including YOU.
I love doing a daily blog as well, helps me reflect on things, be creative, and share –
I love your daily blog, beth.
thanks, ann. it’s readers like you who keep me going – have a wonderful long weekend
three cheers for daily blogging! enjoy the long weekend.
Thanks for this cheering comment, Jim!
Sounds like you have your tasks and relaxation all mapped out. Have a fun weekend Ann 💛
I wish you a fun weekend, too, my friend.
Work, vanity appointment, quick shopping trip, start the 3-day with my dear wife Karen with a great dinner at home is on my schedule today, Ann. Enjoy your holiday weekend, my friend.
May we both have enjoyable holiday weekends, my friend.
Sorry………….I couldn’t concentrate for that loud background music. I didn’t read the bit about turning down the volume and reducing the screen resolution!
Thanks for staying on task, Peter, as best you could.
I find I have trouble with routines: any interruption causes me to forget what I need to do next. Relaxing would probably help with that.
What do I need to do next? Oh, I remember: Tell Christopher how much his comments help.
I don’t consider doing something enjoyable a task. Have a nice long week-end 🙂
Same to you!
One daily task I don’t mention in my posts because it goes without saying is reading and commenting on others’ posts. I usually do that first thing in the morning. Today I reversed the process and drafted most of my post first. This means that it is early evening and I am just getting round to carrying out this task
I wish I had more time to read and comment on others’ posts, Derrick, including yours. I hope you forgive me for being an inconsistent reader. I’m happy whenever I visit your blog and will see you there, soon.
We can’t do it all, Ann
There are just so many hours in the day, Derrick.
I try to find a new daily routine, where I read other blogs, doing the necessary tasks at home and try to find out, how to use my time best possible.
Nice card with the tiger, Ann 🙂
Thanks for all your nice comments, Irene, and for making me part of your daily routine. ❤
Each and every day I struggle
I’m sorry for your daily struggle, Joanne. Your visits mean so much to me. ❤
I did not listen to the relaxing concentration music because I wanted to concentrate on leaving a message here and WordPress doesn’t let me listen and write at the same time.
You have really carried through with your commitment to write daily, and I remember that when you started this blog you had a goal of writing daily for one year. Do you think that keeping this blog has changed you? Has it caused you to do things you wouldn’t have otherwise, or give up things you would have?
I think that keeping this blog has changed me, Maureen. As I’m going to say in my speech at my Harvard reunion on September 21st …
“So as I tell my story to you today, I wonder, perhaps along with you,
what has allowed me to survive, so intact, through all these years of
uncertainty and crisis? What has helped me pick up the pieces, over
and over again? As when I was a child — the love of my family and
friends sustain me. Also, about seven years ago I expanded my
network of friends by starting a daily blog. Every morning, including
today, I write about my heart, my son, my boyfriend, my work,, my
passion for the healing power of groups, my music, my cats, my
hopes, my fears, — whatever helps gird and prepare me for the day
ahead. The day after my heart valve replacement surgery is the only
day I needed a substitute blogger — my boyfriend Michael let my
thousands of readers know I had survived the complicated surgery.
The comments from my readers that day included “This is the best
news that I could receive!” “She’s going to be alright guys’ is the best
line ever!”
As I know with my work with groups, community is essential for
survival. Perhaps because of all the traumas I’ve been through, I need
a bigger group than most to keep me going. Thanks for being part of
my group, today.”
Thank YOU, Maureen, for being part of my group, today.
💜💜💜🌹
You plan your daily life very well. In a sense, I think daily planing give you direction for each day. That should boost mental health.
Your comments on my daily blog boost my mental health!
Your daily blog always has a great focus, and I would imagine that could carry you forward into whatever tasks await you. Attitude is so important, and your intention to remain positive and proactive helps you, but always encourages me! 🙂
Thank you for all your encouraging comments, my dear friend! ❤
