Most of the time I am a procrastinator. But I am absolutely determined to make sure that I do not waste time this week.  Three weeks from today, I will begin the fall semester, and at that point I will be exactly two semesters away from completing my Master’s degree.  With the fall semester comes even more requests for your time, more directions to be pulled in, and less time to do all of it because of class.  Even as I grow older, productivity never gets any less important.

I am planning for this week to be that week that I finally get a lot of my big projects completed.  Other projects will get started so I can chip away at them throughout the fall semester.  Many of those have already been accomplished as of yesterday.  Ancient to-do list items will be followed up on and my e-mail inbox will be empty.  Unfortunately I will probably cook less, but I will make sure my health doesn’t suffer.  I am hopeful, but realistic. This is why I have also incorporated the gym into my plans every. single. morning. Physical exercise, for me, just as important as that mental exercise.

Here’s to a productive week. Happy Monday everyone!
