This Time Last Year #32
This time last year – April 25th – May 9th 2011.
Past Times
I’ve felt a bit restless of late. I need to change something but I don’t know what, probably something big but maybe not, if I knew what I needed I could go all out to get it but I don’t, I just feel restless, fidgety, antsy.
I started to look back on the last few years. I moved from the chaos of my life in London to the relative calm of Odiham in 2004 and started a business with two business partners. For lots of reasons it didn’t work out and we all went our separate ways but there were a lot of good times and I don’t regret the move. I needed the change, when I moved out of London I was on a rapid road to self-destruction and my life and lifestyle has changed so much since I left I barely remember the person I was. If I hadn’t moved to Odiham I would never had met Matt so maybe it was meant to be – sliding doors?
I started a couple of blogs when I moved to Odiham, one for the business and one for me and it’s kind of nice to be able to look back at them and remember and to see how my life has changed. I often wonder what I would have written/published back in the Streatham/Tooting years if I was into blogging back then or if the social media we have today existed then. I’d like to look back at it but I’m not sure I’d want it to be out there in the public domain some things are best left in the past

10 Questions For A Monday Morning.
Whilst I’m on a time management theme, and seeing as it’s Monday I thought I’d share another article I found on Time Management Ninja – 10 Questions to ask today.
- What Am I Going to Do Today? – Have you planned your day? Do you know where you are headed before you leave the house? Take a few minutes to review your calendar and appointments. Knowing where you are going (and when) prevents lots of crises down the road.
- What Do I Need to Do Today? – Are you doing whatever task comes your way first? Or do you have a view of your prioritized tasks, so that you can do what is most important? Review your to do list before jumping into your work.
They may seem obvious but I’m sure I’m not alone in rushing into the working week a little less prepared than I should be.
Happy Monday.

Do You Procrastinate?
I never seem to get to the end of my things to do list and to be honest I’m not sure we are ever meant to. There will always be new tasks, more to do, ongoing developments in projects, work and life in general so there’s nothing wrong with always having something to do. What about those things that have been on the list for longer than the rest. The things we may not want to do even though we need to? Are you guilty of procrastinating? I know I am, so I thought this list of 50 things you’re putting off that you’ll regret later might be a handy prompt to get on with the less pleasant, more mundane tasks in life.
