I like the fire engine metaphors. Very nice, Wendi. We eventually get back on track. Hopefully? I always think about this when I see homeless people.

Rebels R Us, I chuckled when I read the description as it fits to the T. My (not so) special ability is making lists in my head and on paper of what I am to do, then the final thought, when the list is created is to start tomorrow. Of course because I need a break. I am going to try your suggestion and see whether rapid improvement can be made. Hi Wendi, this is a brilliant read. Rebels R Us, I chuckled when I read the description as it fits to the T.

Kind of a paradox. Stay tuned, That post is up next. If it comes out right.. it is circling right now, all day..round and round...boiling frogs and lack of discipline, bad habits and structure..and creativity and all.... ah the insanity that lives in my head...you should seeeee what it looks lik in there before it turns in to words.... Jan,

Although I am sure there is a rebel in me too. Ironically the thing that helps the most with me is routines, and zones. I have a hybrid system created over time that helps me tag the bases so that no one area gets neglected , for long at least. Usually once a week I refer to my "admin. checklist"... I kind of have a reputation for being very organized...organized chaos more like.. :) I 'm with Friar though, you have to cut yourself some slack. Necessary downtime is so essential. Creatives are almost always working, even when we're not. We are our work... so we need to know our rhythms. Chop wood carry water....do what is essential at the time. Which right now is having a slice of freshly delivered pizza...:) Best, Jan Hi Wendi- I think we get a whole ‘nuther category. Although I am sure there is a rebel in me too.
