Sunday is unlike any other day of the week, and it holds a special place in my heart. Wedged into the weekend’s end, it is a transition from fun-filled frivolity, to productive work. The Sunday following a long holiday weekend, leaves me anxious. Freedom, flexibly, lack of structure, and general flailing about without a set agenda wears on my need for an ordered schedule and measurable productivity. While others nap, play games, and indulge in binge-watching favorite shows, my fingers itch, my mind looks forward, and my body hums with a desire to act.
Thoughts turn toward possibilities. Rested and recharged I can’t wait to begin again. I pull out my planner, review the past week, assess where I stand, and plot my path. The start of a new month carries so much promise, and I front-load my week’s plans. The surging strength within me, demands direction. I devise a strategy to channel my intensity toward tackling difficult tasks, pushing a project across the finish line, or maybe, clearing the slate, and embarking on a fantastical endeavor.
The adage counsels us to “make hay while the sun shines.” I plan to take a huge bite from my task list while my energy is at its peak. The afternoon is perfect for setting the stage, so in the morning I can explode out of the gate.
How will you spend your Sunday?

Much the same, I think. My to-do list is far too long to ignore and even though I manage to clear a few, it never seems to visibly shrink! This is going to be the month when I start to see daylight, ready to start writing a new book in the new year!

Yes, I own a never ending to do list too. How wonderful it is that you will end the year on a positive note and you have a new, exciting project to kick off the new year. 2020 is going to be amazing. 🙂

I hope you can manage to unwind a little. But I know, for me, sometimes the best way to relax is to get things done. Here’s to a great week ahead. 💕💕

Yeah, actually, that’s what happens. I want things done. I get so miffed when time flies by so fast and my chores aren’t done yet. I feel happy when I accomplish something at home early and properly.

You are speaking my language, my friend. 🙂 I hope you can get enough done so you can get a good nights sleep and tackle the rest tomorrow.

The thing is, I don’t normally just sleep. Very late at night till the wee hours of the morning, that’s when I watch Netflix or YouTube, write when I have the energy for it, record a video, or “socialize” on social media.

It is good to know when your creative times are. For me, my best times are 9 AM to 2 PM then again from 9 PM to 2 AM. I realize that isn’t really normal but it works.

I think they are my creative times by default, ha ha. On weekdays, I have a job to take care of. On weekends, I am a family woman. So normally, it’s when I can really have time for myself and not be bothered.

I spent Sunday writing a little more than usually. It was the start of December and the start of Advent, so I wrote some about each. I also made notes for the days ahead. I’m supposed to go to Boston for a day this week and don’t really know how to do that.
Happy December!

It seems you were inspired by some interesting topics. My grandmother always says that if something is meant to happen, it will. Enjoy your trip to Boston.
