Hi Mark
I have received the first two packages and have sent out the form for the the third (yesterday). The thing I am having trouble with right now is just surviving. I work a lot of hours just to bring in enough money to squeak by. Then there is the mater of getting the only bathroom in the house back to usable between short breaks from work, finishing the fence that has drug out for two years (mostly due to time & MONEY) and so on and so on. I am devoting a little bit of time each night to reading. I am not how ever progressing through the books with exceptable speed. I could really use some advice on how to break free from the rut of suffering through life.
Everybody I know turns to me to help them with their decisions. I seem to be really good at seeing the hole picture for everybody but myself. I look at everything that eats all of my time and it just seams to me like an excuse of never ending “when this project is done there will be more time for …”. What time is not eaten by trying to make a living is eat by damage control from not making enough money (i.e. building my own fence).
I am a auto mechanic in a small shop with an unorganized boss who likes to micro manage everything. His direct interference really hurts the shop as a hole. I have thought about changing shops, but realize the better solution is to change careers. For I am limited by the the over all income earning ability this career affords. No mater where I work.
I realize most of my trouble stems from time management. I am using the mini-day to effectively clear the house projects out. How do I force this system into the largest mini-day on my daily schedule, and where I have little control? The worst part is, its what pays the bills for now. All be it not very well. It would also go a long way to aiding my studies if I did not have to be at the shop 80+ hours a week (mostly he high side of +) to pull a 40 hour check.
I look forward to the journey that is beginning before me. Play on.
