Do it. NOW! And don't stop till it's done.

The above is my new mantra (until I forget, natch). 

I'm getting absolutely naff all done at the minute, because I'm trying to do too much at once. We're all familiar with the cliche that women are great at multi-tasking, but I am normal two-armed woman and not an eight-armed goddess. 

Yesterday I found myself attempting to scan my daughter's nursery art file before returning it, fill in the attached evaluation form, hoover the digital camera (not as weird as it sounds: the lens was stuck and I read on the internet that this might fix it.  It did fix that particular fault, but simultaneously broke it in a whole new way. So, swings and roundabouts...) and complete a proofreading assignment.   

I did none of these things especially well and pissed myself right off for being so disorganized into the bargain. 

So, from now on, one thing at a time. Do it till it's finished. Do not wander off and start checking facebook on your phone while checking the news on teletext and folding laundry. 

One thing. Start it, finish it. Move on to the next thing.



(this will never work...)
