Control or Influence in Stressed times


12 years ago 0 4027 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
I was thinking about something I was told, when I stated I liked activities that let me count, like recipes, or even recording license plates.
 
I was told it gave me a sense of control, in my stressed existence, and I suspect it's true.
 
There's so little I can get down, since I have so many things I want to do, and I'm trying to pare down my goals, like not looking at courses online, and focus on what needs to be done.
 
Maybe it's the "Pareto" rule of focusing on the important things, that I need to get done.
 
Gosh I'm angry, though, and need to talk a walk to clear my mind, and I'm drowsy, since those imbeciles building next door are nearly done(I hope).
