Busy?

It amazes me at how busy I am and yet how little I accomplish. There are days I feel like I spin in circles and I am like surely I have gotten a million things done! I start to review and realize I really didn’t accomplish anything. Well, I did. I usually have given myself a headache or my stomach is a little upset. But nothing really productive seems to have happened. How is that possible?!

I’ve been trying to look at what all I need to do and then how I have been doing the tasks. Obviously something isn’t right. I guess big business would call it something like task analysis. I gotta figure out a better way to get things done! I gotta be more productive and not end up so frustrated! There are days when I feel like a rat on one of those wheels. I’m running and running and getting nowhere.

Ever felt that way? What did you do?

Teaching an Old Dog New Tricks

Well, I started back to school this week. I am nervous. I had to take a break when I went through my break up. My head and heart were not in school and I wasn’t able to focus. I am hoping they are back to where they need to be.

I am studying web design online. A lot of people think online school is easy. It’s actually harder. You can’t have the teacher explain something to you face to face. The classes are only 5 weeks long. Let me tell ya, what happens in week 1 can screw up your grade at the end of week 5. Coding is not easy and it is precise. One thing wrong and nothing works. It’s hard and you can get very frustrated. I have wanted to just cry before over code. The class I am in this round is Java Script. It’s not as easy as making coffee.

So this old dog is ready to be taught some new tricks. Let’s hope I can do it. Everyone say a prayer!
