APPARENTLY I DON'T DO MONDAYS

Clearly I don't because I didn't post a damn thing yesterday and worse, I can't even remember anything that actually pops out that happened yesterday! It's like the whole day was a blur of doing a whole lotta' nuthin'! Which is fine, "do nothing days" are good but I had a list! I had a plan! It was Monday and I wanted to start the week on a productive note. The sun was finally shining and it was 40 degrees outside! And that's all I remember. And I only remember that because the icecicles were melting from the roof and all I heard was the incessant, ever so annoying, drip, drip, drip. Needless-to-say, nothing on my oh so productive list was touched but I did notice that a lot of my dvr'd 'Castle' episodes are missing from my dvr list, as well as a half a bag of Cheetos, some ice cream and most of the M&M's from the sacred M&M jar. But like I said. The day was a blur.

Today however has been productive. I know because I'm participating in a "time management" study, classroom of one, that would be Moi. I'm logging my every moment, what I do when and how so I can see where and what I am spending my time on. At a glance I see a lot of FaceBook and too much t.v., both of which I will be cutting waaayyy back on, replacing both with much more productive and creative endeavors.

Ideally I would like to take t.v. out of the equation altogether. I've never been a huge fan of t.v., especially reality t.v. but if the "idiot box" is on I am sure to watch and if I watch then I will inevitably get hooked on some cop show or a PBS series or the History Channel and of course, I'm a news whore. I feel like I must know what's going on at every moment of the day, here, there and everywhere around this awesome universe of ours. CNN is the background music of my life. So I'm in the productive process of making changes. The t.v. shows I can always order on Amazon and tuck away for those days when I need a 'Castle'  or 'Criminal Minds' fix and my beloved news I'll limit myself to the morning and evening editions. I think that's do-able. Anderson Cooper I'll miss you..

In place of FaceBook and t.v. time I will be writing, reading, crafting, sewing, taking photos and spending as much time outdoors as I possibly can. I am imposing a media detox ritual on myself and on my life!

Another productive moment of today, choosing my 'Word Of The Year.' I chose the word "creativity" and thus, this will be a year of creativity for me, expressing my creativity in every aspect of my life and creating something new and fun every day for the rest of 2013. I'm really excited about this and really excited to share some of my creativity with all of you.
