I am back from California. Took the red eye yesterday so was not as productive as I would have liked to have been ysterday.
I was out at a Blue Jays night last night courtesy of Microsoft. I might have preferred to sleep.
I am working on my systems when I travel so I am not so far behind when I get back. I increasingly find if I do not deal with something right away, I end up doing marathon sessions just to get to it. So I am trying to deal with everything at the time it arises. Put off nothing. I think thats a time tip.
The guilt theme seemed to ring a chord with a number of my readers. Now I feel guilty about feeling guilty. Something to work on.
Guilt is anger directed at ourselves......Peter McWilliams
Guilt: the gift that keeps on giving.....Erma Bombeck

ReplyDeleteAmen to that!! Probably one of the most productive tips you can give people and yet probably one of the least used. :)
Guilt is regret for what we’ve done. Regret is guilt for what we didn't do.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I don't know who said it - but I like this quote. I'd rather be guilty.
Guilt alone is not good, however.
ReplyDeleteGuilt must lead to transformation, repentence, "a life changing" event of permanence, a new habit, a crushed tradition.
So the New and Better may appear.
Guilt gone mad is paranoia, melancholia, self-loathing sans self-improvement.
