Progression and Productivity.

I've been neglecting my hand written book in favour of the typed blog recently. I do find that writing with a pen can make it easier and less babbled. Plus I find I enjoy it more. Almost like reading a proper paperback book. Feeling the pages and that. It gives over an originality. So here you will have it, from my hand, to the screen, to yours, for your reading pleasure (I hope).

Today had been one of those busy days. You know, one where I have had a lot to do, but instead ended up doing other things. My list today included rearranging my flights home, cancelling contracts and an overall tidy. I've not really managed to complete any of these things. In saying that, I still feel I have achieved and progressed in my day and general life. I have at least begun to think about the next few stages and what I need to be doing to make it all come together. For example my Second Year Visa. As it turns out I don't need to take it up consecutively after this first year. This is a weight off my mind. It does at least mean I can go home for a little while, which I'm sure friends and family will be pleased about.

I keep picking up my laptop only to put it straight back down again today. Motivation has deserted me. But since my panic blog this morning wondering how on earth I will do all the things I'm need to, I have calmed. I've decided to change the word 'need' to meant. It just seems less daunting using that word instead. I have no idea why.  It just works for me in my head.

Still, even that being the case, I'll probably still end up leaving everything until the very last minute. I'm pretty good at that. Then I'll spend the next few weeks worrying about it until its done. Going over it in my head. Checking with myself that it's all straight. I really should just get on and do it when I first think of it. But that's too logical and sensible for my brain to deal with!

I am still impressed with my productivity.

1 - Decided on using my spare time for farm work - Very important for obtaining second year visa, seeing more of the country and getting in touch with the culture side of things I mentioned in the last blog ( I'll probably likely see a few snakes and venomous spiders during this venture - totally Australian)

2 - Deciding on my next Holidays. Thailand and Dubai. The obvious choices of course. I'm in Australia, why on earth would I think of going any other places for a Holiday. (except maybe Fiji. Or something)

So really I've come a huge way over the course of the day. I even managed to pack away all my winter clothing and snowboard. Being as I really won't be needing them at all in the next 6 months. That part definitely feels like the end of a chapter. The upside to that of course being that old cliche of one door closes another opens. A new chapter is about to begin.

So to hell with all the important things. For today anyway. I have something to do tomorrow now! I'll also find out tomorrow if my interview was successful. Or if i remain an unemployed bum for a little longer! I'll no doubt find a way to use that as another excuse to procrastinate from the important tasks for another day.
Meaning the list will lengthen. It'll be never-ending.
Oh bugger it.

Ok, Seriously. Tomorrow, I will do everything I'm supposed to.

I will.

I will, I will, I will.

Right...
