Having too much to do can, paradoxically, be freeing.
Spare capacity leaves you with no excuse to fail to deliver everything, because you can.
Too much to do affords you the opportunity to make choices, because you must.

Is it dinnertime? Wait, what do you mean it’s 3:30pm?!
I am so proud of myself for going grocery shopping at 8pm PT yesterday, when I was almost dozing on my feet.
Also: WA is the first state I’ve lived in that sells alcohol in grocery stores with no strings attached. So I bought cheap wine just on principle.

When driving, I was suddenly struck by a realization that there is one (more) thing about me that has been consistent going all the way back to my childhood.
Back in my junior high school days, my mother once (without my awareness or consent) arranged for me to have an "under-the-table" job getting paid $20 a week during the winter to get up early enough to stop on the way to school and sweep the snow from the entry area of a (admittedly rad) local bakery. She was very upset and confused when I said I was not interested, calling me lazy and inconsiderate.
What she did not understand, and what remains true about me to this day, is that I would gleefully pay $4 a day to get another hour in bed before having to get up.
Did I also make it a point thenceforth to stop in on my way to school to pick up a donut partially out of spite? Yes, yes I did. Because I'd also have paid $5 a day for more sleep, and their donuts were cheap.

That is the big reveal? That the Biden family like the Trump family make money off their name?
And?
How much did Trump's family receive?
How many luxury apartments did Jared Kushner sell to Chinese nationals at that conference in China that had Trump's picture while he was president?
How much did Trump's businesess which he still profited from while president receive?
Dude, no one cares about Biden's family business but the crazy MAGAs.

Communications about changes, roadmaps, strategies seems to be a hard nut to crack.
But mailing people at 08:50 on Monday morning to remind them there are missing hours in the time-registration of the past week, seems to be very easy.

When I first read the quote on the picture below, I felt called out. Now that I’ve I abandoned ego for logic, I realize how true it is.
If you value yourself and order your life according to what is important to you, some things will simply not make your priorities list. Therefore, you decline offers based on your priorities.
It may sound like an unfeeling approach to saying no but, depending on what you are saying no to, it could change the trajectory of your life. It has certainly changed mine. #SayNo #No #Priorities #MentalHealth #SelfLove #SelfCare #RadicalSelfCare #BlackMastodon #HumanRights #Boundaries #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #Anxiety #Depression #Peace #Love #SelfConfidence #Logic #Rest #Struggle #Codependency #SpeakUp #ShowUpForYourself
When we can't do it all, we should focus on our priorities and bow out of everything else gracefully.

At this point it is a dead heat in my head for the most loathed high-rotation ad on free to air TV.
The repellent coronation vs. The Summit
Personally, I would love a Thunderdome on this one, but one where we could lock all the advertising, hype, repetitive "glimpses" and walk away. Forever.

Now that I'm retired, I list things that need to be done in a small spiral notebook - stuff in the house and in the yard. Looking through it I realize the yard and garden items are crossed off very quickly! The things like "follow up on your denied Dental claim," or "clean the bathrooms," sit there for a long, long time. 😂 😂 Priorities, right?
House Republicans on Wednesday approved a bill to #raise the #debt #ceiling into next year, #slash #federal #spending by billions of dollars and #unwind some of President #Biden’s #priorities and recent legislative #accomplishments, including his program to cancel college student debt.
The outcome marked an escalation in the #standoff between the House Speaker Kevin #McCarthy (R-Calif.) and #Biden, as Republican leaders hardened in their resolve to exploit a key #fiscal #deadline for political leverage — even at the risk of causing the U.S. government to #default.
One week after unveiling the so-called Limit, Save, Grow Act, Republicans brought the measure to the House floor and embarked on what proved to be a #raucous #debate. For McCarthy, the process proved precarious, forcing him to make late changes to the legislation to assuage about a dozen moderate and conservative holdouts.

@ryanstraight not sure if they do a desk size exactly (and too sleepy to look it up - sorry!) but I bought a smallish Meaco fan last year and it is amazingly quiet - barely know it’s on except for feeling so delightfully cool.

Currently reminding myself to get some productive work done on my WIP *before* having a second drink on a near-empty stomach.
Sometimes the obscenity just smacks you in the face.
I had a brief rant the other day about a journalist trotting out the “unaffordable” argument about some policy, and how disingenuous it is to do a comparison of only two budget items.
This isn’t that comparison. It’s a ranking, which is precisely what the budget is. I’m not saying we could spend $12b more a year on education. I’m simply pointing out that our elected government thinks three submarines are worth 50% more every year than our entire federal education budget.
THAT is obscene.
Executive coach: You have ELEVEN strategic priorities. You need to focus on two, three tops! Ideally, you should have a single, key goal and give it your all.

@Miriamm That comedian did that really good journalism video pointing out the hypocrisy of allowing the 1st amendment to be limited, because drag.
But 2nd amendment cannot, even being the leading cause of death of kids.

@JoeMcConn Don’t get me started. Removing drivers’ education from public schools and privatizing it has made us all less safe - and puts low-income potential drivers in a really terrible position.
It’s crazy that we have shoddy public transport AND we have decided that training people to drive safely is a luxury now. Even for people who don’t want to drive regularly, I feel like it’s a required life skill for emergencies. One that can be incredibly dangerous if done wrong. #priorities

POV: you’ve been kidnapped and forced into sex work on camera. Then you learn the man responsible has been welcomed back to Twitter where he can influence the countless young minds who follow him.
And then you learn that this is *still* not enough for most people to walk away from, Twitter.
A simple app.
An APP.
Tens of billion of dollars in extra corporate welfare that the Pentagon didn’t even ask for is just given to the military industrial complex. Meanwhile, at the same time the American people are told that we cannot “afford” Medicare dental/vision/hearing, to close the Medicaid coverage gap, child care, universal pre-K, or high speed rail.
