I walk into the kitchen to get some water because I’m dying of thirst. Open the fridge, grab the pitcher, and pour the water, ah that first sip. I put the water down to grab a napkin and instead I start to clean up the table and read the mail.  I move into the living room where legos are like mines strewn across my floor and so I get down to pick them up before I step on one. While I’m down there I lay on my back and close my eyes. “Ah yes, I really should meditate more, this feels good.” Then suddenly my eyes open and I think to myself “Man I’m thirsty, I should get some water. I thought I already poured some” and I walk to the kitchen, step on a lego on my way and find my water right there where I left it next to a pile of stuff I was going to put away.

This is the frustrating endless struggle I face from time to time. Meanwhile, I still haven’t gotten to my schoolwork, blog ideas, and content for my social media. The baby needs to be fed when he wakes and nothing’s prepared. What WAS I going to run out for after feeding us lunch anyway? I was so important, but I know I won’t

remember till I lay down for the night. That’s when everything comes to me clear as day and I don’t understand how I could forget so many important things that needed to get done.

Sometimes, we all need focus. Lately I’ve been drinking TeamiBlends Focus Tea but aside from that, I’ve also begun writing things down. I don’t just mean in a notebook or on a post-it either. Just noting it where you will notice it. I’ve begun to string together my electronics. I don’t have the Amazon Echo yet or the Google Home Mini but what I do have is an android phone and a Laptop (PC). I’ve linked them. This way, whatever is on my phone is also on my laptop. I’ve coordinated my calendar with alarms to remind me of things that need to be done and entered tasks that need to be done so I always know what the alarms are for (yep, I need that kind of detail).

So, here’s to no shame in my game and getting myself (and hopefully helping you) get more organized. Life is too precious to waste time trying to remember what you had to do. Live for now and do your thang!
